Emmanuel Rouget, Vosne-Romanee 2016

Description

This wine is earthy, mineral with a great structure and notes of smoke, leather, Vosne spices, dark fruits, blackberry and red cherry. Often mentioned in the same breath as his famed uncle (the late Henri Jayer) Emmanuel Rouget is a well-regarded Burgundy producer in his own right. Having taken over the farming of the Jayer brothers’ (Henri, Lucien and Georges) holdings, Rouget produces sought-after Pinot Noirs from sought-after vineyards from his base in Flagey-Echézeaux.
