Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Jacques Cacheux, 2021

The 2021 Vosne-Romanée from Domaine Jacques Cacheux is a real treat for Pinot Noir lovers who appreciate elegance with depth. It’s medium-bodied but with enough concentration to feel substantial - juicy red fruit, soft berry compote and a touch of darker fruit mingle alongside gently firm tannins and a slice of minerality.

Always on the lookout for growers under the radar, especially those with interesting parcels in Vosne-Romanée, and we were very impressed with Jacques Cacheux’ 2021 vintage. Patrice Cacheax, Jacques’ son, has run the domaine since 1994 helped by his son Charles.

As an aside Charles’ sister Marianne is one half of the dynamic duo Pierre and Marianne Duroché and we can’t help thinking some of their successful maison wines might have fruit sourced from Cacheaux’ holdings...
