From two parcels - Aux Raviolles right on the Nuits-St-Georges border and Vigneux which lies across the road from Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru La Croix Rameau and the Grand Cru Romanee-St-Vivant. Vigneux is small at just 2.63 hectares and we rarely see it. It was part of the legendary Henri Jayer's Vosne-Romanee. Very deep black red. Aromatic - a classic Vosne-Romanee nose - red-black fruit with spice galore. The palate is where this wine really sings. It is silky and long with medium weight and fine tannins. There’s careful use of new oak which has supports rather than influences the character of the wine. Gault and Millau say: "Fabienne Bony produces wines with everything delicately balanced. One could almost speak about wines in the feminine. We like their so fine character and this lacy approach with a cool material of small fruits of wood. They are very good and in muted colours with length and intensity."
