Vincent Legou worked at the famous Domaine Romanee Conti for eight years before taking over his family Domaine in 2008. A force in the cellar and vineyard, Vincent stopped selling off the family fruit, making massive, vital changes to his family estate, stopping the use of chemicals to get certified organic, and implementing a gambit of yield and ripeness control, including pruning, de-budding, leaf thinning, and strict sorting at harvest. The apparent DRC influence comes into play in the cellar with indigenous yeasts and long and slow maceration. Vincent focuses on optimal ripeness, allowing him to implement whole clusters, something that is seldom seen at this level. Vincent is able to achieve excellent fruit and richness in his wines, and this Beaune is a beautiful example that can be enjoyed now and over the next five years. One of the ultimate cellar savers for Red Burgundy, this is available at a lower price than most Bourgogne Rouges.
