Vosne-Romanée, 2023
Quite a dense Vosne, velvety deep and complex. Dark briar and bramble fruit with a nice raspberry acidity. A lot of stuffing and complexity for a Vosne villages, impressive. A blend of two parcels, Les Barreaux and Les Communes with vines up to 50 years-old. Ageing is in a 40% new oak barriques.
critic reviews
The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Village comprises 80% from the lieu-dit of Barrauds and 20% Aux Communes. Its fragrant bouquet features vivacious red cherries and raspberry fruit alongside hints of bergamot and blood oranges. The palate is medium-bodied, with succulent ripe tannins and a sweet core of black cherry and boysenberry fruit. This is well balanced if lacking just a little persistence on the finish. It will still give up to a decade's worth of drinking pleasure.
