2024 Technical Specifications
Grape Varieties Pinot Noir
Region Vosne-Romanee
Sites Réas and La Rivière
Vine Age Plantings from 1935, 1949 and 1955
Fermentation Vessels Cement tank for primary fermentation; barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing
Production Details Fruit comes from 1.2 hectares in Réas and La Rivière, with plantings from 1935, 1949 and 1955. Primary fermentation is in cement, followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in barrels with approximately one-third new oak. Stem use is internally conflicted: the importer’s production paragraph says fully destemmed, while the vintage-specific Neal Martin note says the 2024 included 10% stems.
Tasting Notes Neal Martin, Vinous, January 2026: cranberry and raspberry fruit with rooibos-tea and bergamot nuances; delicate and delineated, with pliant tannins, a silky texture, a bright tensile finish and lingering blue fruit.
