Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Rouges 2019

Tasting

Situation: a truly exceptional terroir, just above the Echezeaux on the Champs Traversins area, right on the rocks on a hilly side. Tiny plot (19 ares) producing a few barrels only. Organic vines.
Savoir-faire: hand picked Pinot Noir grapes, in small 12 kg baskets. Low yields. Small proportion of whole bunches (not destemmed). Traditional Burgundian vinification with manual pressing and 3 weeks in wooden vats. Gravity cellared. 30%
new oak.
Nose: complex mix of flower (peony), fruits (blackcurrant) and spices (liquorice).Hint of milk. So promising!
Mouth: nice mineral enveloppe. Subtle silky character. Fluid and delicate feeling.
Superbe potential for ageing.

Food matching
