Tasting notes
The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru, which had recently been bottled, has a tightly wound but intense bouquet that responds to aeration. The fruit appears a little darker than the 2015 with just a touch of pressed iris coming through. The palate is well balanced with a fresh, quite grippy entry. I admire the focus and precision on the display here and like the 2015, the stem addition is judiciously interwoven into the fabric so that it does not impede upon terroir expression. It feels long and tender on the finish, completing a Malconsorts with immense potential. Tasted at Flint Wines's Domaine Dujac tasting in London.

Mid cherry red. Plenty of spice on the nose at first, then it settles down to reveal peppery red fruit, not sweet but definitely red-fruited. Deep, deep fruit on the palate, the oak spice very present but well integrated. Firm but so smooth. Rich and long. Tannins build to a more chewy and fresh finish. Excellent harmony and balance for a long future. (JH)
