justerini & brooks tasting note

Edgier than the rich and slightly rounder 2015, slightly more of that typical Vosne Perdrix raciness and minerality. Forthcoming, crunchy red fruit flavours of victoria plum, raspberry and alpine strawberry with a savoury dry stone character in the background. Excellent, lively Vosne. A parcel that sits directly above Reignots, a little lower than Bruno Clair’s parcel, so slighlty less stony, the resulting wine being a touch softer and rounder.

critic reviews

90-92/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

(Vosne-Romanée was Perrot-Minot's only commune that was almost totally spared by frost in 2016; the yield here was about 40 hectoliters per hectare): Dark red with ruby tones. More brooding and dark on the nose than the village Chambolle, offering aromas of cherry, black raspberry and bitter chocolate. Dense, ripe and silky-smooth in the mouth, but still with excellent acidity and floral, spicy lift to its black fruit flavors. Strong calcaire energy kicks in on the back end, giving the persistent finish an element of medicinal reserve and a rocky, saline complexity.

The 2016 Vosne Romanee Champs Perdrix Vieilles Vignes has a very attractive bouquet with bright crushed strawberry, redcurrant and raspberry scents, underneath which lies fine tension and delineation if not the puissance of the 2015. The palate is smooth and fleshy, with good body with ample red cherry and strawberry notes, leading to a satisfying weighty finish. Very fine.
