Tasting notes
A very floral Vosne-Romanee with wonderful elegance, gliding over your palate, in spite of the firm core of fine tannins and the lemon-zest acidity that drives the long, straight finish. Really lingers at the end, and has a degree of vitality that suggests this has good aging potential. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village has a tiny reduction, but there is some lovely fruit tucked underneath. Very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins that frame the blue-tinged fruit. Lovely floral notes, wilted violets towards the finish that belies the grip that becomes more apparent with time.
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village exhibits aromas of plums and sweet berry fruit mingled with exotic spices, rose petals and rich soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with bright acids, powdery tannins and a taut profile that will take some time to unwind, it shows plenty of promise.
