Vosne-Romanée
Terroir
Clayey-limestone soil, with a clayey predominance. We own 1,05 hectares of vines located between Vosne-Romanée and Clos Vougeot.
Winemaking and Aging
Grapes are collected manually, sorted out and then completely destemmed. Maceration is made and the cap of grape skin is punched down to stimulate the process but no pumping over is performed. Alcoholic fermentation lasts from 15 to 20 days. A slight filtration of the juice is performed. After this period, wine is transferred to oak barrels to mature for a period of 12 to 18 months. Vinification and wine ageing are made under the expertise of Robert Vernizeau, a talented winemaker.

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.
