Vosne Romanée, Les Rouges du Dessus, 1er Cru, 2009

From the high Rouges de Dessous parcel just above Echézeaux, a late ripening gravelly vineyard that yields wines of great vitality. This is incredibly focused, shows a laser-like precision and offers boundless energy. Cool, tense and vivid flavours of red currant, cherry, raspberry, damson and loganberry with more than a hint of deep mineral and rock salt elements. A stunner to stop you in your tracks.
