Tasting notes
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has quite a perfumed bouquet, perhaps the most floral of this first flight, with hints of violet infusing the dark berry fruit. There is a little oak to be subsumed. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, silky smooth and harmonious, although it just lacks a little density and grip on the finish. But what you might call a "useful" Vosne-Romanée. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Cask sample. Sweet start and with notable acidity and structure but it suffered from following Grivot's Beaux Monts, I'm afraid. It does build towards a complex finish. (JR)
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru needed a little encouragement in the glass, a mixture of red and blue fruit with hints of pressed violet. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins that frame the crisp blueberry and raspberry fruit, though the finish feels tight and broody at the moment, runs out the exit door with haste. Give it 3-4 years in bottle.
