Reviewed January 2008Interestingly, this is actually more elegant than the Chambolle and certainly more complex though a good deal more reserved too and it takes some active swirling to induce the spicy black and blue berry fruit aromas to reveal themselves. The supple and round flavors are not quite as concentrated as the best in the range but the tannins are wonderfully refined and the depth and length on the mouth coating finish make this quite promising. *Outstanding*

There are only five barrels of this premier cru Vosne as well, and four out of the five will be new in 2006. The bouquet is deep and very lovely, as it offers up notes of black cherries, black raspberries, woodsmoke, cocoa powder, a touch of game, a strong base of soil and a framing of spicy oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep, long and structured, with fine mid-palate depth and currently showing a bit of its oak tannin on the backend that closes with a note of espresso. There should be no difficulty with this wine eventually absorbing its new oak, but I would really like to see this wine with less new oak as it would really allow the terroir to take center stage. (Drink between 2016-2040)
