Winemaking and Aging
To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand.
Before beginning the alcoholic fermentation we make a cold prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phelonic component's extraction. We work since 2014 with 'vendanges entières' full clusters. Then maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages (punching the cap).
Intensity and numbers are lead to the concentration of tannins, perfumes and colour. Alcoholic fermentation is realized with natural yeasts.
After maceration, free and press wines are separated for aging.
Aging is taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barreks during 18 months with around 30% of new barrels.
We only use French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests.

Tasting notes
Garnet colour with purple tints.
The nose is discret at a first glance offering dark fruits notes, ashes and undergrowth.
On the palate, the structure is firm and integrated. Tannins play their lovely game. We catch back on the dark fruits perfumes. Powerful and long aftertaste.

Food and wine pairings
Our Vosne-Romanée 2014 will perfectly pair with coq au vin, roasted quails with morels, pheasant with its seasonal veggies as well as cheeses : Salers, Beaufort or Selles-sur-Cher.
Service and cellaring
It can be served at the ideal temperature of 13-14°C or cellared for 7 to 10 years. Great potential.
Art of tasting
Owning great wines in your cellar is not enough, you also need to know how to serve them.
Temperature is an essential element around 53-57°F for the white and 55-59°F for the red. And if you don't have the right tasting glass which will amplify the wine's aromas, you may considerably reduce your tasting pleasure.
A great glass gives a large ventilation surface to the wine and a tightening neck, which allow the nose to grasp more casily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
