In the Glass — Tasting Notes

This 2022 Vosne-Romanée opens with poise that defines great Burgundy—strawberry and red cherry aromas layered with spice, building to a mineral backbone. On the palate, the fruit remains precise and bright, with raspberries singing against a dry, gravelly finish. Silky texture and vibrant acidity feel neither forced nor overripe; the wine drinks beautifully now yet has structure to reward patience over five to seven years.

The Winery — Jean-Claude Boisset

Founded in 1961 and now headquartered at Les Ursulines—a former convent in Nuits-Saint-Georges converted into a gravity-fed facility—this négociant operates under the stewardship of Grégory Patriat. Once head viticulturist and assistant winemaker at the legendary Domaine Leroy, Patriat brings a vineyard-led philosophy that produces wines truly reflective of their lieu-dits. His 2022 selections earned Jancis Robinson's praise for their balance and refinement. This wine comes from two plots in the heart of the appellation, one near Grand Cru Romanée Saint-Vivant, across limestone and marl soils. Whole bunch fermentation at 30%, a cool pre-fermentation soak, and ten months mostly in neutral oak ensure delicate character stays intact, with technical choices serving the wine rather than dominating it.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Pair this with roasted chicken, braised beef, game, mushroom dishes, or aged goat cheese to see it truly shine. The 2022 vintage itself was exceptional—despite the worst drought since 1976, late-June rains restored vine vigour, and grapes harvested from 29th August arrived in such fine condition that sorting was barely necessary. This is a wine that rewards the moment you pour it, whether you drink it now or cellar it for years to come.
