2015 Vosne Romanee La Colombiere
Buying options
Tasting notes
(from clay soil at the bottom of the hill): Healthy red-ruby. Blackberry and black raspberry aromas are complicated by a gamey nuance. Plush and classically dry, with smoky and saline qualities and a touch of animal fur reduction that currently blocks the wine's fruit. This, too, will be racked soon.

The 2015 Vosne-Romanée La Colombière was showing just a slight reduction on the nose, but tucked underneath lie attractive mulberry and raspberry preserve aromas. The palate has a savory note on the entry, a crisp line of acidity, nicely structured with veins of blood orange and orange rind that enhance the finish. It does not possess the length of the premier crus, yet it represents a very capable village cru.
This is from a single vineyard that they've had for 15 years. Cask sample. Dark crimson. Very rich and sumptuous. Opulent and hedonistic. Very clean, even slightly salty finish. Great polish. Early pleasure! (JR)
