Domaine Jean Tardy Vosne Romanee "Vigneux" 2022, 750ml

100% Pinot Noir grown in a village parcel with clay-limestone soils in Vosne-Romanée. The grapes were fully destemmed and underwent a cool maceration at 10°C for 7–8 days in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, followed by fermentation with native yeasts starting at 12–13°C 2. Extraction was gentle, relying mainly on remontage to preserve aromatic purity. The wine was aged for 14 to 16 months on lees in French oak barrels, with a modest proportion of new wood, and was assembled 1–2 months before bottling without prior racking.

Tasting Note:

Aromatically, it opens with bright red cherry, crushed strawberry, and blood orange. The palate is sweet-fruited and supple, showing black cherry, black pepper, and a hint of tobacco. Overall, it’s a precise and expressive Vosne-Romanée that balances purity and finesse with understated power.
