Tasting notes
Bright red-ruby. Deep aromas of black cherry, menthol and crushed stone lifted by a violet topnote. Large-scaled, sappy, sweet and mouthfilling but very backward (the malolactic fermentation finished very late), combining the density of the Suchots with the minerality of the Beaumonts but at another level of complexity and length. This wine boasts grand cru volume, displaying terrific sucrosité and finishing with serious, tactile tannins.

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts has a disarmingly beautiful nose with blackcurrant, briary and cold stone scents that offer great typicité. Likewise, the palate has a structure typical of this premier cru, denser and more mineral-driven than the Suchots, perhaps at the same time more aloof. But that is what you want from a Malconsorts and there is great precision on the long and tender finish. There is great potential here.
