Vosne Romanée, Les Champs Perdrix, 2020
The last wine in the cellar to finish its malolactic fermentation (in August) so this is just a tiny step behind the others in terms of evolution. Fine, crushed, sun-kissed red berry fruits sprinkled with salt crystals. Suave but lively and transparent. A superb Vosne villages vineyard situated next to Reignots 1er Cru, a touch higher up the slope.
critic reviews
The 2020 Vosne-Romanee Les Champs Perdrix has turned out beautifully, revealing aromas of sweet cherries and raspberries mingled with notions of rose petal, bergamot and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with powdery tannins, tangy acids and a saline finish, it transcends the heat of the vintage.
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Champs Perdrix was showing just a little stemminess on the nose, though it is well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with bell pepper infused red fruit, spicy and lively, a tingle of Shezchuan peppers on the finish. Excellent for its class.
