2017  Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Croix Rameau

From 0.202 hectares of 40 year old vines on clayey-sand and a Bajocian limestone bed; Croix Rameau is the smallest 1er cru in Vosne-Romanee, just .6 hectares located in the north-east corner against the pillar and cross erected by the monks of the Abbey of St Vivant also honoring JeanPhilippe Rameau renowned for his sacred music. The site is surrounded on 3 sides by Romanee St. Vivant! There is a movement afoot among the growers here to have the site re-designated as part of that great Grand Cru. Should this occur, the wines grown here will instantly double in price. "Transparent garnet. Very pretty, lively, blackcurrant and cranberry nose with admirable freshness. (I am tasting this in high temperatures so have chilled the bottle.) Light but definitely present tannins. I'd say this wine is only just ready to drink and will develop still more complexity. Admirably vivacity in this wine and a neat, confident finish. Only medium body but really very impressive finish. I think you can taste the superiority of the site." - Jancis Robinson MW
