Tasting notes
There is just enough reduction to push what is clearly ripe fruit to the background at present. Otherwise, there is again good vibrancy to the delicious, if not especially dense, medium weight flavors where the lingering finish is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the nicely long finish that also reflects a subtle touch of warmth. While slightly awkward today, the development seems clear. Drink 2028+

A good mid red purple colour. Fresh raspberry and alpine strawberry, discreet at first on the nose, with a steady build-up of attractive red fruit behind, very good length, an attractive and charming Vosne in Nicole’s fine-boned style.
The village Vosne-Romanée from Nicole Lamarche is a marvellous success in 2022, with forward black cherry and pomegranate fruit aromas touched with hints of violets and spice. The texture is silky and very pure, and the village level is impressively long. The grapes are from two lieux-dits, Pré de la Folie et Chalanadins, a total of 0.29 hectares. The grapes were picked on 2 September; they were partially destemmed and fermented with both punching down and pumping over. The final result is charming, elegant, and well-proportioned.
