Tasting notes
Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Delicate yet somehow intense in its fruit fragrance. Firm but creamy tannin texture, deep and long and with freshness to the end. A hint of sour cranberry on the finish. Lovely. (JH)

Fairly light crimson. Subtle, broad, somehow powdery nose. Quite fragrant and then some bright, orangey fruit with tension rather than concentration the dominant attribute. Casual and convincing for those who seek traditional burgundy. Lightly muscular – certainly not rich and heavy. (JR)
The 2016 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Clos des Reas has one of the most ebullient and vivacious bouquets from Michel Gros this year with red cherries, wild strawberries and a touch of blood orange in the mix. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, crisp acidity, plentiful tart red fruit with a fine structure that does not dominate toward the finish. Excellent.
