Vosne-Romanée G.Roblot-Marchand & Fils 2022

The wine

The Vosne-Romanée terroir is defined by brown limestone and clay-limestone soils strewn with pebbles, ensuring excellent drainage and allowing Pinot Noir to express itself with finesse. South-east facing exposures promote optimal ripening, giving rise to wines that are both powerful and velvety, underpinned by a marked mineral character. Manual harvests are followed by rigorous sorting to retain only the finest bunches. In the winery, fermentation follows the traditional method in open vats, using native yeasts. The wine is then aged for 12 months in oak casks, with around 25% new oak.
In the glass, the wine reveals a deep ruby hue with garnet highlights. The nose is refined and complex, dominated by black cherry and raspberry, alongside violet and sweet spice, lifted by a subtle note of undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is generous and silky, carried by a velvety texture and refined tannins.

Domaine Roblot-Marchand is located in Chambolle-Musigny, in the former heartland of the Abbey of Cîteaux, and spans the finest appellations of the Côte de Nuits. Established in 1910, the domain now owns nearly eight hectares of vines, which flourish on the sun-drenched slopes of this rich vineyard. Frédéric Roblot took over the family vineyard in 2001, closing down the wine merchant business initiated by his parents and deciding to bottle his own wine. In the cellar as well as in the vineyards, the winemaker adheres to the purest and most symbolic of Burgundy traditions, combining his methods with careful, meticulous soil cultivation. Once the grapes have been harvested entirely by hand, they are vinified with very little intervention. Domaine Roblot-Marchand is unquestionably one of the jewels in the crown of Burgundy’s winegrowing landscape.
