Black Cherry, Asian Spice, Crushed Violets, and Grand Cru-Adjacent Vosne Elegance

The 2020 Jacques Cacheux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "La Croix Rameau" is a luxurious, velvet-textured Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most exclusive terroirs. Situated immediately adjacent to the legendary Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, this tiny Premier Cru yields wines of extraordinary depth and perfume. Crafted by Patrice Cacheux with his signature destemmed, fruit-forward, and generously oaked style, this 2020 vintage boasts soaring aromas of dark cherries, ripe raspberries, crushed violets, Asian spices, and toasted vanilla. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied, rich, and plush, framed by silky tannins and a profoundly long, elegant finish that speaks to its prestigious lineage.

Terroir & Domaine Craft

  • The "La Croix Rameau" Terroir: This incredibly rare Premier Cru vineyard spans just 0.60 hectares and is nestled directly against the walls of the iconic Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru. Domaine Jacques Cacheux is the principal owner of this historic site. Its deep, limestone-rich clay soils produce Pinot Noir of immense aromatic complexity, fusing power with the signature floral elegance that defines Vosne-Romanée.
  • Voluptuous Winemaking Style: Patrice Cacheux is celebrated for a rich, modern, and hedonistic approach to Burgundy. The grapes are 100% destemmed to ensure silky tannins and unhindered fruit purity. The wine is then matured in a very high proportion of new French oak barrels (often 100% for this top tier), lending it a polished, luxurious texture and exotic spice notes that integrate flawlessly with cellar aging.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir from "La Croix Rameau," a tiny 1er Cru bordering Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
  • The exceptional 2020 vintage offers profound concentration, dark berry fruit, and vibrant freshness.
  • Crafted by Patrice Cacheux in a plush, fully destemmed, and luxurious oak style; built for 15+ years of aging.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep, luminous ruby-purple with a bright magenta rim.
  • Nose: Intensely aromatic and seductive. It opens with luxurious notes of black cherry, ripe raspberry, and plum liqueur, interwoven with crushed violets, Asian spice, sandalwood, and toasted vanilla.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-to-full-bodied, and enveloping. The entry is voluptuous and sweet-fruited, gliding across the palate with a velvet-like texture. Fine, polished tannins and vibrant natural acidity provide seamless structure, driving into a long, spicy, and elegantly perfumed finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 15–17°C in large-bowled Burgundy glasses to allow the oak and intense aromatics to harmonize.
  • Decanting: A 1-to-2 hour decant is highly recommended if opening in its youth to allow the structure to soften. Best enjoyed from 2028 through 2045+.
  • Western Pairing: Roasted duck breast with cherry reduction, seared filet mignon with truffle jus, wild mushroom risotto, or roasted guinea fowl.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck, soy-sauce braised pork belly, Cantonese roast goose, or tender Mongolian beef.
