On Sunday night I roasted a rib of beef from the Ginger Pig for the first time and we felt it needed something special to go with it, so G investigated the wine rack and found this Vosne which I had brought back from Burgundy in January. I got it in Mon Millesime (but of course) and it was made by Remoriquet. Expectations were high. It didn't disappoint, although it didn't quite achieve Clos de Reas or Malconsorts status. It had a very soft palate and an agreeable "hint of the farmyard" on the nose, but somehow lacked blockbuster character. We gave it a 9.
As for the beef, it was historic.
