Vosne-Romanee
Vosne-Romanee
Originally called Vosne, the Burgundy village of Vosne-Romanee has been producing high-quality wines for over 1000 years. As is the way in many villages around the Cote d'Or, it appended the name of its most famous vineyard, La Romanee, to its title in 1866, becoming Vosnee-Romanee. Most famous for the 27 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards which are responsible for producing the most expensive wines on earth, the village of Vosne-Romanee also counts 14 Premier Cru climats, and numerous Village status vineyards amongst its plots. The easterly exposed vineyards hit their straps on the mid-slopes, just above the town. All the vineyards of Vosne-Romanee produce only Pinot Noir and these powerful, tannic wines have an intense deep red colour, and flavours thick with strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants. Time brings preserved fruits, leather and earthy characters of game and truffle. Velvety, distinguished, long-living and full-bodied, the wines of Vosne-Romanee are no overnight success.
