Ethereal Floral Lift, Crisp Red Fruit, and Delicate Spice

The 2022 Domaine Jacques Cacheux Vosne-Romanée "Les Genaivrières" (Les Genaivres) is a remarkably graceful, fragrant, and high-toned red Burgundy that showcases the lighter, more aromatic side of this world-famous village. Sourced from a cool, high-elevation slope near the northern boundary of Vosne-Romanée, this wine effortlessly balances the sun-kissed warmth of the 2022 vintage with a lithe, mineral-driven freshness. It opens with an enchanting nose of crushed wild strawberries, fresh redcherries, and dried violet petals, lifted by signature Vosne hints of juniper, white pepper, and subtle forest floor. On the palate, it is light-to-medium-bodied and incredibly smooth, wrapping its vibrant core of red fruit in fine, silky tannins that lead into a clean, spicy, and persistent finish.

Terroir & Winemaking Reality

  • The Elevated Cool Terroir of Les Genaivrières: "Les Genaivrières" (sometimes referred to as "Les Genaivres") is a charming village lieu-dit situated near the northern border of Vosne-Romanée, edging toward Flagey-Echézeaux. Positioned on slightly higher ground with shallow, stony clay-limestone soils, this parcel historically derived its name from wild juniper bushes (*genévriers*) growing on the slopes. This higher elevation provides cool night winds that safeguard natural acidity, giving the 2022 wine a vibrant, crystalline red fruit profile and high-toned spice.
  • Patrice Cacheux's Gentle Extraction: Winemaker Patrice Cacheux crafts this cuvée with meticulous care. The old Pinot Noir vines are farmed organically without synthetic treatments. In the cellar, 100% destemming prevents any stem bitterness from impairing the site's natural delicacy. A cold pre-fermentation maceration extracts intense floral aromas before the wine undergoes gentle ageing in French oak, preserving its ethereal elegance and smooth mid-palate structure.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir estate-harvested from the distinguished "Les Genaivrières" lieu-dit in Vosne-Romanée.
  • A lithe, aromatic village bottling prized for its floral perfume, red fruit purity, and elegant spice notes.
  • A beautifully balanced 2022 expression that brings immediate finesse while possessing graceful aging capability.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright, translucent ruby-red core with delicate sapphire highlights at the rim.
  • Nose: Fragrant, open, and airily perfumed. It opens with elevated aromas of wild red cherries, crushed strawberries, and dried violets, accented by hints of juniper berry, white pepper, and soft underbrush.
  • Palate: Dry, light-to-medium-bodied, and gracefully smooth. The entry delivers a fresh splash of redcurrant and crunchy cherry sap, supported by fine, silky tannins. A vibrant line of natural acidity balances the solar warmth of the 2022 vintage, leading into a clean, precise, and finely spiced finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C. A gentle, cellar-like chill focuses the delicate red fruit and preserves its aromatic floral lift.
  • Decanting: A brief 20-to-30 minute decant is recommended if opening early to allow the high-toned aromatics to open up in the glass. Cellar-worthy over the next 6 to 10 years.
  • Western Pairing: Roasted duck breast, herb-crusted pork loin, pan-seared veal cutlets, or mild soft cheeses like Brie.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck wraps, Cantonese barbecued pork (Char Siu), soy sauce chicken, or delicate pan-fried pork dumplings.
