Francois Lamarche, Vosne Romanee Croix Rameau

Francois Lamarche, Vosne Romanee Croix RameauClassic ruby. The most expressive of these four Vosne 1ers at present with a spicy mix of mostly red berry fruit with a lovely floral note of rose petal that continues onto the equally spicy, pure and impeccably well balanced flavors that also evidence excellent precision on the intense, long and serious finish.

supple and quite round flavors coat the palate with dry extract that also pushes the moderately firm tannins to the background on the slightly warm finish where the wood resurfaces
