Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is a little reduction to bypass on the nose, although underneath this Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Clos des Réas appears to be some attractive cranberry and blackberry/briar scents, with fine tension and nicely integrated oak. The palate is crisp, lithe and silky in the mouth, commencing in harmonious fashion, but becoming a tad hard toward the finish. I am certain that bottle age will tenderize this Vosne-Romanée, but it seems sulky at the moment. I remain optimistic that it will repay 5-6 years in the cellar.Inc. TAX€2,156.84 -

Aromas of cherries, dark chocolate, sweet soil tones and potpourri preface Méo's 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes, a medium to full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular wine with a generous core of fruit framed by rich and powdery tannins. This is quite a virile, powerful Chaumes this year, and it will reward bottle age.In Bond€525.00 -

Pure pleasure on the nose. Masses of ripe fruit. Lots of polish. Fruit trumps tannin in no uncertain manner. Long and dramatic.In Bond€1,935.00 -

Wine Spectator (92)
Taut and austere, with floral and berry flavors sealed up. The tannins are prominent now, but this shows purity, balance and length, finishing with cherry and mineral accents. Gains suppleness with air, so be patient. Best from 2018 through 2032. 430 cases made. -BSIn Bond€334.00 -
Vinous (89-92)
Bright, deep red. Reticent aromas of black cherry, minerals, menthol and licorice, plus a whiff of meat. Silky and chocolatey; a step up in density from the regular village wine, and more classically dry. This somewhat more muscular wine has the middle-palate stuffing to support its broad, ripe tannins. The village wine will offer early appeal, but this wine will require a few years of patience.In Bond€2,995.00 -

Vinous (89-92)
Bright medium ruby-red. Pure aromas of blackberry, licorice and violet. Ripe, dense and sweet, with firm underlying minerality giving definition to the dark fruit and chocolate flavors. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins. Meo believes this may turn out to be his best Chaumes to date.In Bond€632.92 -
Vinous (87-90)
Bright ruby-red. Spicy blackberry and blackcurrant aromas complicated by floral, animal and tarry nuances. Densely packed but bright, with lively acidity and well-defined fruit flavors. Nicely pliant and easygoing. Finishes with ripe tannins and a distinct component of sweet oak. Meo experimented with a bit of reverse osmosis on this cuvee, eliminating about 5% of the water.In Bond€736.00 -
Vinous (85-88)
Fresh medium red. Red fruit and mint aromas. Fat and liqueur-like in the mouth, but a bit reduced today and hard to judge. Very ripe and sweet. Complicating note of leather.In Bond€596.00
