Tasting notes
With a deep ruby red colour, our Vosne-Romanée 2016 develops woody aromas with hints of cherry and clove. The mouth, fresh and long, is characterized by notes of mocha, licorice and blackcurrant.
Description
The geography, climate and soil of Vosne-Romanee produce some of the finest grapes in all of Burgundy. By exercising the greatest care in the vinification process, the owners have succeeded in preserving the reputation of Vosne-Romanee wines through the centuries. The wines are
extremely perfumed to the point of seductiveness and their finesse on the palate belies their latent power. These are amongst the longest lived wines from Burgundy.
