Product Description
70-year-old vines sharing a border with the most legendary plot in Burgundy
This is the ultimate real estate hack in Burgundy: a single-vineyard Vosne-Romanée that grows just feet away from bottles costing $3,000 or more. "Les Barreaux" sits directly on the border of the mythical Cros Parantoux (Henri Jayer’s masterpiece) and looks down on Grand Cru Richebourg. While the vines just across the path command a fortune, this bottle delivers a massive dose of that same hallowed terroir for a "Village" price.
Winemaker Philippe Chéron farms these 70-year-old vines with engineer-like precision, capturing the unique, high-altitude tension of the site. In the cooler 2021 vintage, this plot was a standout, producing a wine that trades heavy extraction for electric energy and perfume. It is a rare chance to drink from the most expensive hillside in the world without the four-figure price tag.
