Tasting notes
The 2011 Vosne-Romanée Village has a detailed bouquet with lifted blackberry and wild strawberry scents, demonstrating fine mineralité for a village cru and it opens beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin. Maybe it is a little pinched compared to the Chambolle-Musigny as it does not have the same depth on the finish, but it is brimming of freshness. A little ingénue ! Tasted at Flint Wines Burgundy 2011 tasting.

Bright, deep red. Aromas of raspberry, licorice and herbs show a slightly underripe/overripe character. Supple but a bit flat, with modest depth to the raspberry, spice and herb flavors. Finishes with easy tannins but slightly tart acidity and an intrusive green note. An awkward showing today.
Sweet rose petals, red berries and mint lift out of the glass in the 2011 Vosne-Romanée. An attractive, mid-weight wine, the 2011 has shut down quite a bit in bottle, so I would give it a few years to come around. Floral and savory notes reappear on the finish.
The 2011 Vosne-Romanee Village has an entrancing, earthy bouquet that is layered over with raspberry leaf and bergamot scents, hints of cold tea emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, leafy black fruit. This is a slightly austere, maybe curmudgeonly Vosne-Romanee at the moment and it dips just before the finish line, but there is a pleasant saline aftertaste. Drink now-2018. Having been bowled over by the sublime 2012s, the Marie-Christine took me through the domaine’s 2011s, which provided a useful opportunity to compare the two vintages, in particular with respect to the Ruchottes-Chambertin. Importer: several importers including Michael Skurnik and North Berkeley (US) and Lea & Sandeman, Howard Ripley and Lay & Wheeler (UK).
