- TASTING NOTE: "The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Vigneux has quite a precocious bouquet, but nicely defined and focused, featuring small red cherries, crushed strawberry and blood orange scents. The palate is sweet and rounded on the entry, offering black cherries mixed with touches of black pepper and a suggestion of tobacco. Quite Morey-like in style, with good structure on the finish, this is an excellent Vosne-Romanée from Guillaume Tardy." Neal Martin, Vinous Media
- ABOUT THE WINE: Fruit is sourced from the lieux-dit 'Vigneux', close to 1er cru ‘Les Suchots’. This vineyard is grown in shallow, gravelly soil, which means the vines develop under some stress, producing small berries and a low crop like old-vine fruit. The winemaking is gentle in the extreme. The fruit is 100% destemmed and the whole berries given a seven-day cold soak to extract colour and flavour. Fermentation takes place with infrequent pigeage to keep the elegance and finesse of the fruit. The wines are gently pressed to barrel and matured on lees (16 months in oak, 33% new the rest one year old), receiving their first racking at final blending.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: In 1966, Jean Tardy started working vines in Nuits-St-Georges, Vosne-Romanée and Clos Vougeot under a crop-sharing arrangement with Domaine Méo-Camuzet. From the 1980s, he started slowly but surely to build his estate, acquiring land in the likes of Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin over the next 30 years. Son Guillaume took charge of the winemaking in 2001. He continues to work under the watchful eye of Jean, the two of them doing everything to ensure healthy fruit and excellent ripeness. That means short pruning, de-budding and strict green harvest to keep yields down. With only five hectares all up, these traditional, precise and elegant wines are Domaine-bottled in tiny quantities.
