| Vineyard and Vintage Notes: |
| Vosne Romanée is one of, if not the most, famous and smallest villages in Burgundy. Les Chalandins is a small parcel located just a stone's throw south of the famous Clos de Vougeot. With its old vines, famous terroir and sensational conditions, this vineyard produced some very mature and rich grapes in 2005. |
| |
| Fermentation and Aging: |
| The grapes were hand picked and transported by refrigerated truck to the winery. There we sorted, crushed and destemmed the fruit and transfered the must to tanks by gravity. About 15% of the harvest was not crushed and was put into the fermenter as whole berries. After a six day cold soak we started the fermentation that lasted three weeks. After pressing, the wine was aged in oak - 40% being new barrels - 14 months. This wine was bottled without any filtration. |
| |
| Tasting notes: |
| Surrounded by famous grand cru, this village appellation shows a lot of class and elegance that is be expected from its pedigree. Our 2005 Les Chalandins is a very expressive wine with rich currant and violet aromas, backed by a touch of toast. The palate is silky yet vibrant with good ripe but grainey tannins from a fantastic vintage, this wine defines the greatness Burgundy and its superiority in producing top Pinot Noirs. |
