Tasting notes
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Village has an open, inviting bouquet of brambly red fruit, woodland scents and touches of black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, coming across a little rustic compared to the 2019, with a gutsy, mulberry and clove-tinged finish. Fine.

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Village has a fragrant bouquet of morello cherry and raspberry aromas. The palate is sweet on the entry, featuring notes of sour cherry and orange peel. A little compact toward the finish, but it should mellow out after bottling. Fine.
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Village has also turned out well, exhibiting scents of wild berries, peonies, violets and grilled squab, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and nicely concentrated palate that's lively and refined. This is a lovely wine.
This is actually aromatically similar to the Chambolle villages but with markedly more spice elements in play. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the well-detailed medium weight flavors that don't possess quite the same density but there is slightly better balance and overall depth.
