2015 Vosne Romanee Les Rouges
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Rouges had a heavy reduction on the nose that made it difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, perhaps a little broad-shouldered and rustic compared to some of Etienne Grivot's other 2015s, though there is fine tension and grip on the finish. A bit curmudgeonly at the moment, I am sure it will age with style.

In the other end of the appellation – or rather in Flagey-Echezeaux we find Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges 2015 – just above the Echezeaux of Domaine Grivot. This is also a forward and energetic wine with a lovely tension and vibrancy – with a bit of extrovert show-off so typical of this terroir. A fine mix of red and dark berry fruit – some rich and sweet red notes but invigorated by red currant and some darker berries to add both freshness and complexity. This is a wine for pleasure and enjoyment with its forward and slightly “dramatic” style. Very fine. Dec 2016, www.winehog.org
