Tasting notes
The 2010 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru(from young vines in Echézeaux) shows greater freshness and vibrancy of the villages. I especially like the way the wine blossoms on the palate. Layers of dark berries, plums, spices and licorice come to life in this sexy, dazzling wine. The aromas and flavors gain intensity and drive, while firm yet elegant tannins provide support on the finish. This is a wine of impeccable elegance and sheer sexiness.

Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. I tasted all of Bernard Gros’s 2010s from tank, where the wines were settling for the winter. As is his usual custom, Gros concentrated the wines 10-15%, and therefore did not feel the need to chaptalize any of his 2010s. He calls 2010 a good vintage for quality but not the wallet, as yields are down 30-40%. Importer: Atherton Imports, Menlo Park, CA; tel. (650) 328-6639
