Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Village has also turned out well, exhibiting scents of wild berries, peonies, violets and grilled squab, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and nicely concentrated palate that's lively and refined. This is a lovely wine. (WK)

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée villages from Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat was more on form and seemed a bit fresher in profile than the Chambolle, but it finished up its malo sooner and may just have been a bit more on form. The bouquet is ripe, pure and classy, offering up scents of black raspberries, dark soil tones, espresso, Vosne spices, woodsmoke and a touch of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows a lovely synthesis of ripe black fruit and minerality. The finish is long, poised and suavely tannic, with impressive focus and grip. Good juice. 2026-2050+.

This is actually aromatically similar to the Chambolle villages but with markedly more spice elements in play. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the well-detailed medium weight flavors that don't possess quite the same density but there is slightly better balance and overall depth.

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Village has a fragrant bouquet of morello cherry and raspberry aromas. The palate is sweet on the entry, featuring notes of sour cherry and orange peel. A little compact toward the finish, but it should mellow out after bottling. Fine. (NM)
