Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru

Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru

FOOD PAIRINGS: Petits-Monts should be served at 17°C (62°F) with red meat (roasted especially) but game is this wine’s finest accompaniment.

TASTING NOTES: “A wine of great elegance! Intense, deep-ruby color. Characteristic aromas of wild cherry combining with fine spice and a subtle note of musk. On the palate, the first impression is of silk. Refined tannins of great breed; lively notes. Lingering aftertaste.
