Tasting notes
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru has turned out beautifully this year, wafting from the glass with scents of dark berry fruit, orange rind and grilled squab, complemented by a deft overlay of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, textural and expansive, it's supple and enveloping, its generous core of fruit underpinned by velvety tannins and ripe acids.

Cask sample. Gorgeously intense purple fruit on the nose. Sweet ripe cherries. More damson on the palate, very ripe, just fresh enough, almost a little jammy but rich and generous. (JH)
