"The young ’02 Vosne villages is as fine a bottling of this wine as I have ever tasted. Marie-Andrée Mugneret talked a bit about how it took some time for her and her sister Marie-Christine to finally get this wine the way they liked it- early vintages after they took over for their father were a bit too tannic for their tastes and lacking the elegance which they thought should typify Vosne-Romanée. However, the last several vintages, perhaps a result of the much more hands on approach they have taken towards their viticulture has produced a strong run of vintages for the Vosne AC. The 2002 is flat out brilliant for the appellation, offering up a classic nose of red and black raspberries, Vosne spices, minerals, violets, a bit of orange zest and a touch of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is medium-full, rock solid at the core, and beautifully focused and expressive on the backend. There is a bit of round tannin on the finish, but they dovetail brilliantly with the tangy acids of the vintage to give the wine shape and grip. Outstanding wine."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
