Terroir & Winemaking Reality
- The Southern Border Terroir of Aux Raviolles: The "Aux Raviolles" lieu-dit sits on a gentle slope at the southern boundary of the Vosne-Romanée village, directly adjacent to Nuits-Saint-Georges. Its well-drained clay-limestone soils contain a generous amount of fine gravel, which allows the old Pinot Noir vines to develop an ideal balance of aromatic finesse and subtle structure. This unique border position endows the wine with classic Vosne perfume and spice, supported by a gentle structural depth.
- Patrice Cacheux's Precise Elevage: Under the stewardship of Patrice Cacheux, the estate approaches this small plot with meticulous care. The grapes are completely destemmed and undergo a gentle cold maceration to capture vibrant fruit purity and delicate floral aromatics. The wine is then aged in fine French oak barrels, allowing the generous 2022 fruit to integrate smoothly while sculpting a velvety mid-palate and a long, refined finish.
Highlights
- 100% Pinot Noir estate-harvested from the distinguished "Aux Raviolles" lieu-dit in Vosne-Romanée.
- A beautifully balanced village bottling that delivers the hallmark spice, floral lift, and silky texture of the appellation.
- A radiant 2022 expression that offers immediate elegance alongside reliable medium-term cellaring potential.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright, clear ruby-red core with translucent garnet flashes at the rim.
- Nose: Fragrant, open, and elegantly spiced. It opens with aromas of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and violet petals, layered with hints of clove, star anise, and warm earth.
- Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully lithe. The entry brings a juicy splash of red orchard fruit, followed seamlessly by fine-grained, supple tannins. A fresh line of acidity balances the vintage's natural generosity, carrying the silky texture into a long, polished, and beautifully spiced finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C. A gentle, cellar-like chill focuses the vibrant red fruit and preserves its aromatic floral lift.
- Decanting: A brief 20-to-30 minute decant is recommended if opening early to let the delicate spice notes fully expand in the glass. Built to cellar gracefully over the next 6 to 10 years.
- Western Pairing: Roast duck breast with cherry reduction, pan-seared veal cutlets, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or mild soft cheeses.
- Asian Pairing: Peking duck wraps, Cantonese barbecued pork (Char Siu), soy sauce chicken, or delicate pan-fried pork dumplings.
