Production Details The exact wine was vinified with 100% whole bunches; its vines were not trimmed, with shoots instead tied at the top of the canopy. Domaine-level 2017 cellar context reports an average of 12 days in vats, rarely over 14 days, followed by transfer to 228 L barrels; Premier Cru wines received 15–20% new oak. Extraction could involve foot-treading, punch-downs and pump-overs.
Tasting Notes Generously fruited and crystalline, with firm ripe red berries, strikingly immediate fruit and exceptional transparency.

2016 Technical Specifications
Grape Varieties 100% Pinot Noir
Drinking Window 2022–2032
Classification Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru
Region Aux Reignots
Sites A single 0.20 ha Aux Reignots holding, situated above La Romanée and beside Romanée-Conti.
Unfiltered Yes
Closure 54 Mm Cork
Production Details Domaine-level 2016 cellar context reports an average of 12 days in vats, rarely over 14 days, followed by transfer to 228 L barrels; Premier Cru wines received 15–20% new oak. Extraction could combine foot-treading, punch-downs and pump-overs. The brochure gives only a 60–70% domaine-wide average for whole-cluster fermentation, not an Aux Reignots-specific percentage.
Tasting Notes Perfumed and soaringly red-fruited, with a supple, lithe and focused palate and notably airborne aromatics.
