Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes has a generous bouquet with crushed strawberry, red cherry and bergamot scents that unfold with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, white pepper and bay leaf, quite spicy in the mouth with good grip. It just misses some persistence towards the finish, but otherwise this is a commendable 2013, if not the best from the Lamarche stable this vintage. Tasted September 2016.
