Of all the Burgundy regions, perhaps none is so famed as Vosne-Romanee. Home to the Grand Cru vineyards of Romanee-Conti, Romanee Saint Vivant, La Romanee, La Tache, La Grande Rue and Richebourg, Vosne-Romanee is considered the “central pearl in Bourgogne’s necklace.” “Bourgogne has produced nothing better than this little corner where all her charms come together”. So wrote Gaston Roupnel Burgundian author, celebrated historian of the French countryside.

And yet, in all my years of business, I have sold only a few dozen labels. Why so few? Simple… Vosne-Romanee is the most famed of all the regions… which means it is also the most expensive!

Which is what makes today’s offer so extraordinary… an up and coming producer, barely on the radar…

This is the real deal folks… and at a ridiculous pre-tariff price…

The Domaine has flown under the radar for quite some time, but since Edouard, François's son is gradually taking over, the Domaine is also opening up to the world by exporting more and word is slowly slipping out! Edouard is very curious and frequently visits famous neighbors in Vosne-Romanée to learn, listen and refine his skills. 

From 30-70 year old vines… 25% whole cluster fermentation… 20% new oak for 18 months… this is serious stuff – precise and compact, offering deep, dark fruit notes along with tea, cassis and wild herb notes. This is just a baby… grab a few… decant one now for a few hours, then tuck the others away for a decade.

“From plots in Aux Communes, Jacquines, Aux Réas, Champs Perdrix, Pré de la Folie, Vigneux and Les Rouges du Dessus: so really representative of Vosne as a whole. Lively fresh purple with a brisk fresh even bouquet. Super elegance to this while retaining the firm and forceful style of the domaine. Very good weight and length.” JM
