This 1997 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru is best served at 16-18°C. Given its age of over 20 years, we highly recommend using an Ah-So opener, Durand opener, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to prevent cork breakage. Decanting for 1-2 hours will allow its elegant aromas to fully develop. The optimal drink window is from now until 2028 and potentially beyond.

This Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru, made from Pinot Noir, is renowned for its elegant, aromatic, and silky style, often featuring notes of red berries, violets, and subtle spices. It pairs beautifully with delicate Asian cuisine such as Cantonese roast goose, truffle dishes, delicate dim sum, or steamed fish with ginger and scallions.

The bottle is in excellent condition: the label is perfect (score 10), the fill level is in neck (score 10), and the capsule has no problems (score 10). For home storage, keep the bottle horizontally in a dark, cool place with stable temperatures (12-15°C) and humidity (around 70%). Before opening, stand the bottle upright for at least 24 hours to allow any sediment to settle.

As a 1er Cru Burgundy from a top producer like Jean Grivot and a good vintage, this wine holds strong investment potential. Such wines often receive high scores from critics, reflecting their quality, aging capability, and desirability among collectors.
