Vosne-Romanée

Dense dark colour, heady fruit, almost liqueur in style yet with that gorgeous spice and white pepper from the whole bunches. This really is complete and there is just a prickle of acidity to keep it fresh. This wine has long been one of the very finest examples of Bourgogne AOC. It comes from four parcels of Pinot Fin, the revered Pinot cultivar, including one parcel planted in 1959 at Premeaux, south of the Nuits-Saint-Georges township. In the Cellar, the wine is fermented with 40% whole bunches and 50% of the cuvée is raised in 2 year old barrels, the remainder in tank. Old vines, low yields and great terroirs-this possesses the kind of perfume, texture and intensity of fruit rarely seen at this level. ABV 13%
