Vinous (93)Deep red-ruby. Tight but tangy scents of black fruits, crushed stone, minerals and licorice, plus an exotic suggestion of white stone fruits. Wonderfully sappy, precise and energetic, conveying an impression of density without weight. This silky, refined wine is still a baby but its ripe, granular tannins and finishing juiciness suggest it will be a beauty with six or eight years of cellaring. |

Burghound (91-94)Little else is discernible beyond strong reduction and wood toast. More positively is the lovely mid-palate mouthfeel to the medium weight flavors that display fine power and verve before culminating in a lingering if moderately strict and austere finale. This too is going to require extended bottle age as it's exceptionally firm, indeed even robust. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with perfumed black cherry and blueberry fruit, wilted iris petals and just a faint of lavender scent. The palate is rounded on the entry with juicy ripe red fruit laced with clove and white peppers, quite savory towards the finish that just lacks the sophistication of other Les Suchots that I tasted. Not a bad Vosne-Romanée by any means, but it needs more finesse in the final quarter. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village contains 20% whole bunch from the La Violette lieu-dit and destemmed fruit from the Quartiers de Nuits and Basses-Maizière lieux-dits. Aged in 30% new oak, it is quite backward and surly on the nose at first, but opens to reveal white pepper and clove aromas tincturing the tightly wound black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, and quite sweet at its core, with that white pepper leitmotif and a touch of graphite toward the crunchy finish. |

Vibrant purple, a very heady nose, slightly heated lush raspberry. But the nobility of the terroir shows through in the mouth where the raspberries are less lush and are joined by a few strawberries. Good acidity, considerable length. Tasted: November 2021 |

Wine Advocate (94)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Malconsorts 2011 has a beautiful perfumed, floral bouquet that opens immediately with bright red cherries, fresh strawberry, minerals and just a tincture of burnt toast. The palate is medium-bodied, perhaps just a little green around the edges, structured and masculine with an aloof finish that will need time to mellow. This feels like it has some stem addition and while that influences the wine now, it will be assimilated and transform into intriguing secondary flavors down the line. |

Vinous (94-97)(100% vendange entier; 60% new oak): Bright dark red. Knockout discreet nose combines raspberry, Oriental spices, rose petal and flinty minerality. Extremely intense in the mouth, with its youthfully imploded flavors of raspberry and saline minerality conveying outstanding definition and energy. The longest of these 2015s so far, finishing with noble building tannins and lovely red berry, spice and crushed-stone perfume. This wine struck me as higher-pitched and redder in its fruit character than the 2014 version at the same stage. Sieve noted that the estate's highest 18 rows of vines on hard limestone give this wine an edginess that's not found in the Christiane cuvée. |
