The Red Fruit Flavors

During the harvests, the bunches of grapes are cut by hand, then carefully selected. The berries are separated from their clusters, “la rafle”. After placing them into vats, the grape is cooled to stall the alcoholic fermentation and to allow the skin of the grapes to perfume the juice by liberating its red fruit aromas. A slow infusion, rather than seeking a rapid extraction of aromas, this is how the vinification takes place over several weeks, with a desire to limit the number of interventions. The grapes abandon their color, benefiting and enriching the young wine.  

Patience and Time

For Perfectly Accomplished Wines

At the end of the fermentation, the wine will have been aged for 18 months, the first 12 months in Burgundy oak casks, selected for the finesse of its grain and its local origins, then another 6 months in a vat which allows a final rest on the lees.  

A light filtration will perfect the wine before bottling. 

At the end of this long and demanding course, our wines from Vosne-Romanée are ready to be tasted.
