The tasting |
|
|
Clear, bright, crimson colour. |
|
|
| |
|
Fine and subtle on the nose, aromas of red berries (raspberries) |
|
|
| |
|
On the palate, the wine confirms the aromas detected on the nose, the red berry notes combined with slightly spicy, smoky nuances. |
|
|
|

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Joint-manager of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Aubert de Villaine applies the same vineyard work ethics to the Bouzeron terroir as he does to Vosne Romanée. No one knows his secret but the magic works every year. He gives his "hush-hush" appellations the profiles of "grands vins" and a force of expression unlike any of their peers. |

The "La Digoine" Burgundy Red 2009 oscillates beautifully between firmness and smoothness on the palate. The straight-forwardness of this Pinot allows us to admire depth and an impressive aromatic range. This wine is pure expression of the terroir, the mark of the finest wines. |
