2017 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Vosne-Romanée Aux Brulees 1er Cru

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru has quite a complex, cerebral bouquet of mineral-laden dark berry fruit, hints of undergrowth and a subtle wet limestone aroma. The medium-bodied palate offers crisp, slightly chalky tannin, well-judged acidity, moderate depth and a tensile, very focused finish. There is a little strictness at the moment, but I feel it will gain more flesh by the time of bottling. This is extremely promising.
