Vosne Romanée, Les Rouges du Dessus, 1er Cru, 2014
Refined, cool and classy. Delicious, high-toned flavours of raspberry wild strawberry and loganberry mixed with touches of bolberry, finishing on strong overtones of limestone, salt and mineral. Taut, intense but moreish. A distinctive and high quality Premier Cru perched high up the slope directly above Echezeaux yielding fresh, high altitude wines with strong a mineral character.
critic reviews
Bright red-ruby. Very pure, perfumed aromas and flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, minerals, violet and cocoa powder. Sappy and tightly wound, conveying a powerful impression of vinosity thanks to its pungent minerality. The pH here of 3. 45 is the lowest in the cellar in 2014. Indeed, this wine shows a distinctly cool quality in the context of the vintage, and finishes with excellent chewy length. Tremblay told me that the 2008 version of this wine was paired by a chef with a tuna dish during a trip to Tokyo and that the combination was perfect.
