Tasting notes
(Rouget ages his crus in 100% new oak): Bright red. Aromas of redcurrant, spicy oak and violet. Dense and sappy in the mouth, offering attractive spicy lift to the cranberry and redcurrant flavors. Subtler and finer than the village wine, and showing a firm mineral underpinning, but also oakier in the early going. This will need patience.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Beaumonts was the one cuvée that was difficult to assess when I visited in December. It appeared very reduced on the nose. The palate is underpinned by broody black fruit with noticeable salinity on the finish. However, there is a sense of this being a bit “muddled” at the moment and I will retaste on another occasion.
