2021 Vosne-Romanee, 1er Cru Les Rouges, Maison Roche de Bellene (6 x Bottle)

Exclusive to Jeroboams in the UK. Premier Cru Les Rouges is a relatively high-altitude vineyard located above Grand Cru Échezeaux. The lower half of the vineyard, Les Rouges du Bas, is classified as Échezeaux Grand Cru, but Les Rouges/Les Rouges du Dessus (“the upper Rouges”) is classified as Premier Cru. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins framing a sweet fruit core with a marmalade note. There is plenty of tension to this elegant wine, which is delicate in structure but fans out on the finish with a peacock’s tail of complexity. Beautiful Pinot perfume on the finish, red fruits and roses. Drink 2026-2041
