The wine

Michel Saban is a well-known Burgundian estate owner, notable for wines such as a Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Gaudichots, a plot with a complex history. This Premier Cru was, in fact, absorbed into the La Tâche Grand Cru and only very few proprietors still hold Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Gaudichots plots that have yet to be reclassified. To the best of our knowledge, bottles from this rare cru adjoining La Tâche are shared between Domaine Régis Forey and wines produced by Michel Saban.
The wine is velvety, delicate, and refined, characterised by vanilla aromas. A rare cru best enjoyed within 5 to 10 years of the vintage.
