Vosne Romanée, Aux Malconsorts, 1er Cru, 2023
Powerful and with such strong character without being too much; a fantastic Vosne of the very highest class. Impressive, deep, rich but vital flavours of bramble, blueberry, undergrowth, dark cherry and crisp red raspberry. Earthy, brooding and mineral, there is so much wine here simply waiting to burst out of its shell. One of the top Vosne Premier Cru vineyards situated next door to the Boudots of Nuits-St.-Georges, making wines that show a similar power but with Vosne texture.
critic reviews
The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru is a kindred spirit to the Les Suchots on the nose, sharing the same purity and utterly entrancing delineation. The two-thirds new oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is beautifully balanced with a bit more grip and maybe a little more backbone than the Les Suchots, yet there is so much harmony and poise toward the finish. Outstanding.
