Tasting notes
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes, matured in 50% new oak with 25% whole bunches, has an aromatic, very floral bouquet, scents of pressed violets intermingling with the black plum and bilberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, finely judged acidity and good balance and matière toward the almost citrus-like finish. Excellent.

Bursting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, exotic spices and smoked duck, the 2017 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes is the broadest and most satiny of Tremblay's village wines, with a medium to full-bodied, fleshy profile that was still digesting some structuring tannin when I tasted it.
From Aux Communes and Les Jacquines. Seductively sweet red fruit on the nose, almost more Chambolle than the Chambolle but with a little more sinew and muscle at the heart. Fragrant, red-fruited and with that hint of spice to add complexity to pure fruit. A dark floral note. Incredibly precise on the palate, tight but so fine in texture. Very, very fine and long. Glorious, even if not giving its all just yet. (JH)
