Vosne-Romanée, jewel of the Côte de Nuits and summit of Burgundian Pinot Noir
A mythical village of the Côte de Nuits, in Burgundy, Vosne-Romanée embodies one of the most refined and sought-after expressions of Pinot Noir. Its wines combine controlled power, velvety texture, aromatic depth, fine spices and rare finesse.
The village owes its worldwide reputation to its legendary Grands Crus, its emblematic Premiers Crus and exceptional domaines such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg and Domaine Bizot. These names illustrate the rarity, sensuality and complexity that make Vosne-Romanée so great.
Vosne-Romanée represents the absolute elegance of the Côte de Nuits. Its wines are never just about power: they seek harmony between intensity, perfume, mouthfeel, fine spice, depth and length. This is an appellation where Pinot Noir reaches a particularly sensual and complex dimension.
An exceptional terroir at the heart of the Côte de Nuits
The slopes of Vosne-Romanée are based on limestone and clay-limestone soils particularly suited to Pinot Noir. Fine clays bring flesh and depth, while limestone favours tension, aromatic finesse and precision in the wine.
Privileged exposures allow regular ripening and complete aromatic expression. The finest wines from the village combine ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, violet, dried rose, sweet spices, truffle, fine leather and undergrowth, with an often velvety texture and a very persistent finish.
