Vosne-Romanée AOC

The most revered village in Burgundy, Vosne-Romanée is home to Romanée-Conti — the world's most expensive wine — as well as La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and other Grands Crus of almost equal prestige. The village's Pinot Noirs combine power with extraordinary silky elegance, red fruit complexity, and a haunting perfume of violet, truffle, and spice that no other terroir replicates.
