Description
Domaine Jérôme Chezeaux ‘Les Chaumes’ 1er Cru Vosne-Romanée 2020
Vosne-Romanée is an appellation produced exclusively in red wine. The village has fourteen climates classified as 1er Cru and 6 Grands Crus. Jérôme Chézeaux operates two of these 1er Crus. Chezeaux farms a total of 11.2 hectares of vineyards, the estate owning 6.6 of them. The fruit is 100% hand picked, and 100% destemmed. Chezeaux favors fairly lengthy macerations.
Les Chaumes lies at the southern edge of Vosne-Romanée, immediately below the hallowed premier crus Aux Malconsorts and La Tache on a vein of limestone and marl. Chezeaux owns four-tenths of a hectare here, producing a wine that marries the exotic spice and succulent fruit of Vosne-Romanée with the mineral force of Nuits-Saint-Georges in ravishing fashion.
