Tasting notes
Produced from a parcel located 3 meters (slightly less than 10 feet) from the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti's Richebourg vines, this bright, medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine (prior to the 1994 vintage Domaine Robert Arnoux sold wines produced from this vineyard as Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru) has enthralling aromas of morels, porcinis, violets, and raspberries. It is an elegant, delineated, medium-to-full-bodied, velvety-textured, and concentrated wine. Layers of sweet red berries, Asian spices, and vanilla-imbued oak are found in its complex and persistent flavor profile. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2007.
