Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Les Rouges"

It is in this small village with its 518 acres of vines at the heart of the Côte de Nuits that some of Burgundy's most renowned red wines, such as Romanée-Conti and Richebourg are produced.
The "Les Rouges" Premier Cru, located in the commune of Flagey-Echezeaux, benefits from a position on the slope that overlooks the Echezeaux Grand Cru.
