Viticulture

The two plots of La Croix Blanche are just south of Vosne-Romanée. The road from Dijon to Nuits-Saint-Georges separates them. To the west there is a crossroad intersection between La Croix Blanche and two vineyards called Aux Raviolles and Les Jacquines on the path towards the village of Vosne. A white stone cross marks this important old crossroads, thus the name La Croix Blanche.

Tasting Note

With its powerful tannic architecture, but velvety, this opulent, fleshy and spicy wine prefers strong meats with well-defined fibers, which it can tame and envelop.

Roasted poultry, lamb and game birds.
