Description
"Vosne-Romanée Les Violettes comes from a lieu-dit belonging to the village of Flagey-Echezeaux. A small road and the surrounding wall of Clos-de-Vougeot separate this parcel of vines from the Clos-de-Vougeot Grand Cru. The unique terroir and the old age of the vines are undeniably reflected in this wine, which is aromatically complex, distinguished, opulent, deep and beautifully velvety on the palate. This velvety Vosne-Romanée is opulent, full-bodied, and spicy, making it a perfect match for flavorful and characterful meats that it can tame and embrace. It pairs particularly well with succulent poultry, slowly roasted lamb, and game birds. However, it also complements lean and firm beef steak or a spicy poultry couscous. For adventurous gourmets, it has its aficionados when paired with pan-seared foie gras. Moreover, its presence on the palate allows it to be enjoyed alongside intensely flavored cheeses such as Époisses, Langres, Saint-Florentin, Aisy Cendré, as well as Cîteaux." - Winemaker Notes
