Tasting notes
There are four barrels of the 2019 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes, derived as usual from holdings in Les Quartiers de Nuits—from the part of the lieu-dit that is not included within the boundaries of the Echézeaux Grand Cru—and contiguous Les Violettes. Mingling notes of wild berries and raspberries with exotic top notes of mandarin rind, Asian spices and peonies, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit complemented by complexifying carnal nuances.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes comes from two lieux-dits, Quartier des Nuits and Les Violettes, and sees 60% whole bunch with 50% new oak. It has a fragrant nose of raspberry, wild strawberry and a touch of cassis, plus light iodine scents that emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. There is fine salinity underlying this Vosne-Romanée, and impressive tension toward the finish. This should age well, as there is plenty of substance in evidence.
