Vosne-Romanée
2023
This Vosne-Romanée village is a blended cuvée that expresses finesse, showcasing aromas of red fruit and white flowers. The Ormes plot, planted in 1985, and the Chalandins plot, planted in 2000, reveal their distinctive identities, thriving on a clay-limestone soil where a notable amount of silt mingles with incredibly fertile earth to deliver exceptional richness. Formerly known as "Ormes des Chalandins," this cuvée features labels whose design may vary across vintages, particularly before 2022.

Le Millésime 2023 : Équilibre, Finesse et Élégance
2023 restera une année exceptionnelle, marquée par un été interminable et des températures record, en faisant la plus chaude jamais enregistrée. Malgré ces conditions extrêmes, ce millésime se distingue par son équilibre, sa finesse et son élégance.
Un début d’année sec et un printemps salvateur
L’automne 2022 et l’hiver 2023 ont connu un déficit hydrique majeur, avec 80 % de précipitations en moins en février. Le printemps, marqué par des pluies et des températures proches des normales, a favorisé une croissance régulière des vignes et un débourrement homogène en avril.
Floraison harmonieuse et véraison prometteuse
Mai et juin ont alterné orages et soleil, assurant une floraison rapide et homogène. Les pluies de fin juin (jusqu’à 100 mm à Chambolle-Musigny) ont complété les besoins hydriques, sans occasionner de grêle ou dégâts majeurs. La véraison, ralentie par la sécheresse d’août, a repris avec les pluies de fin août, avant d’être accélérée par une chaleur de début septembre.
Vendanges sous un beau temps
Débutées le 11 septembre, les raisins, arrivés à parfaite maturité, ont été récoltés en dix jours sous un beau temps constant (20 à 28 °C). Des rendements parfaitement maîtrisés ont permis d’assurer une belle qualité.
Un automne prometteur
Les pluies régulières jusqu’à fin octobre ont rechargé les nappes phréatiques, préparant le terroir pour les prochaines campagnes.
Un millésime remarquable
Malgré les défis climatiques, 2023 se distingue par des vins d’un équilibre parfait, d’une finesse subtile et d’une grande élégance.

The 2022 harvest, which began on August 31st, took place under summer temperatures. This year, the growing season was marked by striking climatic contrasts. After a rainy autumn and a frigid December, February and March brought unusually mild weather. The spring, bathed in sunshine and drought, was particularly mild, peaking in May with the highest temperatures in the past fifty years, which encouraged vigorous vine growth. The summer, one of the hottest since 2003, was punctuated by heatwaves in late June, mid-July, and throughout August. Despite the intense heat, the water reserves accumulated over winter ensured a harmonious maturation of the grapes. The 2022 vintage, though shaped by extreme climatic conditions, yields wines of great finesse and remarkable elegance, offering exquisite freshness and generous volume on the palate.

While the 2021 growing season concludes with a sunny summer, its beginning was marked by two devastating frosts that deeply affected the vines and threatened the upcoming harvest. That year, Burgundy experienced a relatively mild winter. In spring, after significant frosts in early April, the return of fine weather provided ideal conditions for flowering. A few weeks later, early summer was characterized by heavy rains and persistent humidity. By August, however, dry and radiant weather persisted for three consecutive weeks, promoting optimal fruit ripening. By late September, the grapes reached perfect ripeness, prompting the harvest to begin on September 23rd. The production from this capricious vintage is exclusive. Evocative, with finesse and elegance, the wines reveal exceptional freshness and present beautiful volume on the palate.
Tasting notes :
The bouquet is characterized by remarkable fruit density, where fresh red fruits are enhanced by peppery undertones, creating vibrant and persistent energy. On the palate, a hint of structure at the back, while the finish lingers, revealing elevated and enchanting cherry notes.

This exceptional vintage, produced in very limited quantities due to the intense summer heat, harks back to the glorious past of great Burgundies. After a wet and mild winter, the summer of 2020 was characterized by dry and hot conditions. During this period, the vines suffered from a lack of water from flowering onwards, leading to reduced yields. The harvest was notably early, beginning at the end of August, with an average production of 15 hl/hectare. This early and sunny vintage offers beautifully crafted wines, marked by remarkable freshness and tension, with a rare elegance of silky, refined tannins. This grand vintage deserves the care of extended cellaring to fully reveal its potential. However, its vibrant character and excellent balance also allow for enjoyment in its youth, showcasing notes of crisp fruit complemented by a delicate floral nuance.
Tasting notes :
The nose is characterized by spicy and floral notes, with hints of dark fruit. The medium-bodied flavours offer a sleek mouthfeel. The final is long, firm, and youthfully austere

Spring 2019 was marked by highly variable weather, alternating between fine conditions and episodes of low temperatures. The cool weather during flowering led to reduced yields due to run-off. However, after a scorching June and a hot, dry summer, the grapes ripened beautifully and were in exceptional condition, allowing the harvest to begin under favourable weather on September 17th. Produced in limited quantities, with the average yield across all our appellations in 2019 falling below 20 hl/hectare, this vintage delivered wines of exceptional quality. Despite the heat and dryness, the wines are rich, concentrated, and display excellent digestibility, freshness, length, and persistence. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, showcasing remarkable balance, with impressive tension and minerality.
Tasting notes :
Aromas of orange zest, wild berries, rose petals and sweet spices. This is a luscious and opulent wine, exotically perfumed with a vibrant, velvety texture.

The bunches were in perfect condition when harvesting began on September 3rd. This vintage is concentrated and complex, achieving excellent ripeness while maintaining its freshness. The wines are distinguished by their finesse and remarkable freshness, with a structured palate that reveals a myriad of aromas—a true virtuoso.

The vines enjoyed pleasant weather conditions, with temperatures up to 6°C above the norm. The summer, marked by warm and dry weather, contributed to the fruit achieving an ideal state of health. Yields were very generous, and after reducing yields through "green harvesting," the optimal ripeness of the grapes led to the harvest beginning on September 7th. The wines from the 2017 vintage are elegant and refined, with a beautiful tension, silky tannins, and great aromatic complexity.
