Vosne-Romanée
The vineyards of Burgundy is renowned for its famous "climat" division, the expression of a delimitation and knowledge of terroir that is unique in the world, and it is perhaps at Vosne-Romanée that this approach is best embodied, with climats giving birth to wines that, for connoisseurs, are veritable myths.

Grand crus that make dreams come true

In the commune of Vosne-Romanéelocated on the part of the vineyard known as the Côte de NuitsIn Burgundy, there are several climats classified as Grand Cru, the highest and rarest level of appellation for Burgundy wines. The names of these climats are akin to myth: Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Richebourg, to name but a few. The wines produced from these vineyards, all red, are among the most renowned in Burgundy and the world over. Bottles, produced in small batches, sometimes fetch several thousand euros. For wine lovers, Vosne-Romanée is a pilgrimage destination. It was also the home of Henri Jayer, a winemaker who, until his death in the mid-1980s, revolutionized winemaking methods in Burgundy, producing cuvées of unrivalled texture and depth. It was also he who, in the commune of Vosne-Romanée, bought up what was then a simple wasteland and turned it into a parcel of vines known as Cros Parantoux, now classified as a premier cru, another mythical and rare wine that sells for gold. In those days, Henri Jayer used dynamite to clear the land, because he had such faith in the terroir.

A terroir approaching perfection

The soils are predominantly limestone, with clayey marls, in successive strata that provide Pinot Noir, the king of grape varieties for Vosne-Romanée. red Burgundy winesA unique terrain for expression. This geology, coupled with sunny exposure and temperate to slightly continental climatic conditions, gives rise to grapes that develop into small, highly concentrated berries with a perfect balance between acidity and sugar levels. The Vosne-Romanée terroir may be described as blessed by the gods, but it's more likely to be described as a true gift of nature, sparingly exploited by man to the delight of wine lovers.

Complex, delicate wines

Vosne-Romanée is a kingdom for Pinot Noir, so the appellation only produces red wines. If the Vosne-Romanée grand cru are hard to find and not within everyone's reach.

A Vosne-Romanée wine has a pure ruby color and an incredibly complex nose with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and blackcurrant. On the palate, the tannins are present, offering great length, but without aggressiveness. They melt into the velvety-textured structure, further deepening the aromatic palette of spicy notes.

pinot noir
large class

" This opulent red shows great depth here, with notes of spice, cherry, blackberry, coffee and minerals. The attack overflows with black fruits, the wine then becomes more structured and evolves towards a persistent finish, where dusty tannins reign. Best from 2023 to 2035" (Wine Spectator) A world-renowned appellation, this Vosne Romanée is, of course, a wine for laying down, balancing richness and tannins, texture and architecture under a lively attack. It may seem austere in its youth, but Vosne-Romanée needs to develop its structure and fatness in bottle.

long-keeping wine

The color is lively and sustained, and the nose is characterized by great elegance. Notes of cherry, strawberry and undergrowth. On the palate, the tannins are present but ripe. A very fleshy wine with great aromatic persistence. What elegance!

"Sparkling in the glass with scents of raspberries and blackberries mingled with sweet spices and smoked meats, Pascal Clément's 2017 Vosne-Romanée Village is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, its generous core of ripe but lively fruit framed by lovely acidity and melting tannins. A marvel that will sit perfectly in your cellar for many years to come." (Wine Advocate 2020)

89-90+/100 Robert Parker

"The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Village has a delicious, perfumed bouquet, the 25% new barrel perfectly integrated and letting the aromas of crushed strawberry and violet blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, a drop of acidity, nicely proportioned in the mouth with a suprisingly mineral-rich finish. A vintage to watch, better than the 2015.

Louis Jadot - Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru 2009

Rating: Robert Parker 91-93/100
This Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts symbolizes elegance above all else: its mellowness dominates, supported by fairly discreet tannins and little acidity. This full-bodied wine, with excellent persistence, is highly aromatic, its typicity highlighting scents of cherry, strawberry and undergrowth... A must-have!
