    • The Style of the Wine

      Finesse, richness, complexity and harmony all come together and unite to show how complete this exceptional wine is. An iron hand in a velvet glove, it describes the fullness of the Pinot Noir with exceptional distinction, expressing a taut nervosity before resonating with richness and elegance. Its aromas evolve harmoniously with age. When young, the wine offers floral notes mingled with raspberry, morello cherries and blackcurrant. With time the aromas evolve and develop towards spices, liquorice, undergrowth and leather.

      Redder, clearly more spicy and floral, this wine takes us on a journey. On the palate, it combines power and elegance, texture and structure. The finesse of the tannins makes this Vosne Romanée very ethereal. The long finish underlines the wine's energy and purity.Géraldine Godot, Technical Director (May 2024)
