Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Au-dessus des Malconsorts 2005 - Remoriquet

Henri and Gilles Remoriquet 

The Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Au-dessus des Malconsorts” from Domaine Henri et Gilles Remoriquet is a bottle of absolute rarity and nobility. Located on the slopes of the prestigious “Les Malconsorts” vineyard, this parcel directly borders the legendary Grand Cru La Tâche. The soil here is limestone, very stony, and shallow, forcing the old Pinot Noir vines to draw their strength from the heart of the rock. The result is a nose of fascinating complexity and immense distinction, where notes of ripe red berries, dried rose, and violet mingle with hints of white pepper, undergrowth, and cigar box.

On the palate, this Premier Cru delivers a masterful performance that defines the very essence of great Vosne-Romanée wines: a perfect alliance between athletic power and absolute grace. The attack is remarkably pure, revealing a dense, rounded structure with a velvety texture. The tannins, of exceptional fineness, structure the wine with exquisite precision, while an underlying saline minerality brings vibrant freshness. The finish, seemingly endless and aristocratic, leaves a truly memorable impression. This wine, with excellent aging potential (10 to 20 years), will perfectly complement the most refined dishes, such as hare à la royale, sweetbreads with truffles, or roast capon with porcini mushrooms.
