Tasting notes
Ample, broad and beautifully resonant, the 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Genaivrières opens in the glass to reveal myriad layers of dimension. Swaths of dark fruit, spice and leather infuse the 2017 with notable character. Perhaps because of the late malos, the Genaivrières is not quite as well put together as most of the other wines in the range. A touch of reduction remains, while the tannins are bruising. Cellar this for at least a few years.

Exquisite aromas of wild berry fruit, smoked duck, exotic spices, peonies and loamy soil preface the 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Genaivrières, a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine with supple and powdery tannins, succulent balancing acids and a long, perfumed finish.
