Tasting notes
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has a tightly wound, slightly earthy bouquet with scents of kirsch, blueberry and violet, quite showy but kept on a tight leash. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, gentle grip and quite a dense, minerally finish that lingers in the mouth. There is a discreet confit element here. Good potential, because you can feel the energy.

Here there is no reductive funk on the airy and ripe aromas that combine notes of violet, blackberry, Asian-style tea and a whiff of anise. The highly seductive and caressing flavors possess a velvety mouthfeel that delivers very good if not truly special length on the moderately structured finale where a hint of bitter cherry pit arises.
