Vosne Romanée, Les Champs Perdrix, 2022
Showing the tight nap we’ve become accustomed to in this cuvee, with fine red fruit and floral notes, excellent tension and focus too. Silky, yet gripping, bright intense and animated. Needs a bit of time but this a very grown up, very Vosne cuvee from an extremely well situated lieu dit, right next to Reignots 1er cru, a touch higher up the slope. In the Clair’s hands it is parcel that seems to go from strength to strength.
critic reviews
Clair's trilogy of high-altitude communal bottlings concludes with the 2022 Vosne-Romanee Les Champs Perdrix, an ample and fleshy wine that offers up aromas of sweet raspberries, raw cocoa and spices. Medium to full-bodied, racy and saline, it concludes with chalky grip that will soften with bottle age.
The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Le Champ Perdrix showed some reduction on the nose, but there seems to be ample, quite floral fruit in situ. The fresh, vibrant palate offers dark cherries mixed with citrus fruit. It is focused and tensile with an energetic finish and a touch of sour cherry on the aftertaste. Very fine.
