Tasting notes
The 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots is the most fragrant and ethereal wine in the range, offering up an exquisite bouquet of red berries, blood orange, exotic spices, peonies and violets. Full-bodied, ample and seamless, it's fleshy and succulent, with supple, beautifully refined tannins and lively balancing acids. Deep and complete, it concludes with a long, rose-inflected finish.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru comes from an expanded parcel, the "extension" only planted (at 16,000 vines per hectare) in 2015 after being fallow for over a century. The total area is 0.1854-hectares. It has a brilliantly defined bouquet with vivid red fruit, crushed limestone and crushed rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant, lithe tannins, a mixture of red and black fruit. Slightly granular in texture, hints of hoisin toward the finish with a long saline aftertaste. This squares up to the RSV and questions its superiority...it's that good.
