Vosne-Romanée, Les Chaumes, 1er Cru, 2009

One of the lower-lying Vosne Premiers Crus, Chaumes produces very broad, ripe, plump wines. The Lamarche 2009 version is remarkabley complex and burly for a Chaumes, packed with dense fruit and showing bags of stuffing and character, sweet unctuous flavours of sloe, griotte and autumn berries. Rich, full and powerful.
