Vineyards and region
Vosne Romanée is located in the Côte de Nuits, the northern part of the Côte d'Or.
Location / Origin: Vosne Romanée is a Village appellation in the Côte de Nuits and is one of the most famous villages for red Burgundy.
Soil: The vines grow on iron-rich clay soil, a type of soil that contributes to the structure, depth, and recognizable power of Vosne Romanée.
Vineyard & Harvest: The vines are on average 30 years old and the grapes are harvested by hand, allowing for careful selection in the vineyard.
Yield: The average yield is around 40 hl/ha, which helps maintain sufficient concentration in the grapes.
Aging Potential: This wine has an aging potential of 5–7 years, fitting the combination of fine tannins, oak aging, and Village origin.
Vinification and maturation
The vinification follows a classic Burgundian approach with careful oak aging.
Fermentation: Fermentation traditionally takes place in open vats. This method is well-suited to Pinot Noir, as color, aroma, and tannins are gradually extracted from the skins.
Aging / Oak Maturation: The wine ages for 10–12 months in oak barrels, 20% of which are new. The French oak from Louis Latour's own cooperage is medium toasted, which imparts subtle spiciness, extra texture, and an elegant oak influence without overpowering the fruit.
