It is in this small village with 210 ha (519 acres) of vines located in the middle of the Côte de Nuits that the most renowned red Burgundies such as Romanée-Conti and Richebourg are produced. Both the villages of Vosne-Romanée and Flagey-Echezeaux are authorized to use the Vosne-Romanée appellation. The vineyard stretches across both sides of the Concoeur valley.
Tasting
The primary aromas are of wild cherry with slight notes of toast and smoke. These open up to scents of truffles. The palate starts with a very velvety sensation followed by silky tannins, beautiful full body and a long, aromatic finish.
