Cherries, plums and dark raspberries meet violets and rose petals; alongside raw meat, leather, tobacco, undergrowth, black tea and liquorice – dark and serious, yet transparent and precise at the same time.
Palate
Open and flowing on the palate with lively acidity and a finely polished texture; tart-sweet cherry fruit, delicate spice and a sweet core playfully balance rigour and power.
Character
Noble and profound, with a classic Vosne expression – powerful but never heavy, with youthful tension and long ageing potential.
Pairing
Pairs wonderfully with duck breast in a cherry jus, game dishes with mushrooms and fine beef fillet.
Notes
The grapes come from vines up to 80 years old, including those in Aux Réas directly next to the Grand Cru La Tâche. 30% whole-bunch fermentation and around 40% new wood lend the wine freshness, depth and structure – a style that reflects the philosophy of Sophie Noëllat and Arnaud Sirugue: finesse and heritage in one bottle.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Transparent ruby red with violet hints – clear and youthful, a picture of Burgundian clarity.
Nose
A wine of great depth and classic Vosne notes. Cherries, plums and dark raspberries meet violets and rose petals; beneath them mingle raw meat, leather, tobacco, undergrowth, black tea and liquorice. Serious and dark, yet transparent and neatly composed – in its youth still veiled by a light layer of lees.
Palate
On the palate it is more open and transparent, carried by flowing acidity and a finely polished texture. The dark fruit remains captivating in an elegant, almost noble manner: tart as well as slightly sweet cherry fruit, fine spice, plenty of energy. Strictness is balanced by a sweet core, power by juicy, playful fruit.
Finish
Energetic and taut, with lingering cherry fruit and fine spice – a finish that speaks of density as much as of light-footedness.
Terroir & origin
The harvest takes place at the northern edge of the village of Vosne-Romanée, where the grapes tend to be darker. The vines of the plots Aux Réas – directly adjacent to the Grand Cru La Tâche – and Au Dessus de la Rivière are 50 to 80 years old. Behind them stand Sophie Noëllat and Arnaud Sirugue, who took over the Sirugue estate entirely in 2023 and cultivate twelve hectares in Vosne-Romanée. Through family ties, the connection reaches back to Henri Jayer: the estate’s Les Barreaux plot borders his mythical Cros Parantoux.
Grape variety & vinification
Pinot Noir, vinified with 30% whole-bunch fermentation – a technique that preserves freshness and refines the tannins – along with around 40% new wood during ageing.
Food recommendations
A noble food wine: duck breast with cherry jus, partridge on lentils or saddle of venison with mushrooms reflect its dark fruit and undergrowth notes. It also makes a harmonious companion at the table with mature Comté.
Special features
The combination of very old vines and plots in the immediate vicinity of La Tâche makes this village wine a serious piece of Burgundy: noble in its fruit, strict in structure, and yet endowed with that silky texture for which Vosne-Romanée is famous.
