I rarely recommend village wines from Vosne- Romanée, because they are invariably expensive due to the cachet of the name but are usually made from mediocre fruit drawn from the lower flats of the appellation. Well, this wine offers little relief on the price issue, but it certainly exceeds expectations in terms of performance. Although it shows the potential to unwind for years to come, and is sure to remain fresh on account of abundant acidity, this already shows lots of open charm, with red and black fruit notes, subtle edging from oak, and interesting savory backnotes recalling mushrooms and truffles.
