2022 Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir | Terroir-Driven Elegance
Crafted from a rare 0.35-hectare clay-limestone plot in Burgundy’s iconic Vosne-Romanée village, this Pinot Noir balances vibrancy and structure for cellar-worthy aging. Hand-sorted grapes undergo gentle whole-cluster fermentation in open vats, followed by 18 months in French oak (10% new), preserving bright acidity while adding subtle spice complexity. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it retains a silky texture and pure fruit expression—think dark cherries kissed with wild herbs and a mineral-driven backbone.
Why This Stands Out
• Terroir Focus: Unique microclimate in Vosne-Romanée delivers concentrated yet refined flavors absent in mass-produced Burgundy wines
• Timeless Aging: Fine tannins and balanced acidity suggest 8–12 years of graceful evolution (drink now for vibrant fruit notes)
• Culinary Flexibility: Pairs equally well with refined dishes (sauternes-style foie gras) or rustic fare (truffle-infused pâté)
Tasting Journey
Nose opens with crushed raspberries and violet nuances before giving way to a layered palate of blackberry compote interwoven with wet stone minerality. The finish lingers with a touch of clove from seasoned oak barrels—a hallmark of Burgundy’s artisanal tradition.
Serve at 58–60°F to highlight its dual personality: approachable now as a bright red table wine, yet capable of developing tertiary notes over decades when cellared properly.
