Violet fragrance and expressive red cherry fruit. Chewy tannins, intense fruit and a bitter brightness to finish. Rounded, aromatic, dry and succulent. (RH)

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées was matured in 50% new oak and 50% one-year old. There is just a very slight reduction on the nose, but otherwise there are appreciable pure black cherry and iodine scents that waft from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite supple tannin. This feels silky in the mouth, very harmonious with blackcurrant and boysenberry jam on the intense finish. Very fine Michel!
