The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Village comes from several parcels around the appellation and sees one-third new oak. It has an attractive blueberry, iodine and violet-scented bouquet that is showy but translates its terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with finer tannin than the Nuits Saint-Georges Village and a chalky finish that leaves the mouth tingling. Oddly, I find this more promising than the Clos des Réas.Inc.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village showed a bit of reduction on the nose, which offers light red currant and strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a lot of sucrosity on the entry but fine acidity and candied orange peel on the finish.Inc. TAX€169.15 -
