La Romanée : Going by the historical texts, this vineyard dates from Roman times, probably the origin of its name. Christened the "centre pearl", due to its geographical situation, in the heart of the Grands Crus of Vosne Romanée it is the smallest Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, not only on the Côte de Nuits, but in the whole of France : it only covers 0.85 ha., producing less than 4 000 bottles per year! Just like Romanée-Conti a little further south, La Romanée has all the producing favourable conditions for a magnificent red wine : limestone-clay soil mixed with some crumbly chalk, giving body and elegance and quite a steep slope to allow the rain to drain away. The estate belongs to Général Liger Belair, owner of the Château de Vosne Romanée. A legendary wine, it will unveil all its qualities after a few years in the cellar. It is then that it will break out into black fruit and spices, evolving towards smoky, woody notes. Very ample, silky and fresh, this Grand Cru presents remarkable complexity and length on the palate.
