The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas 1er Cru comes from the 2.12-hectare monopole of the domaine, though 0.4 hectares was pulled up two years ago for replanting. It has an attractive bouquet of well-defined black cherries, blueberry and hints of cassis and orange peel aromas. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry. There is good depth here, although I find that the Aux Brûlées has better assimilated its new oak. The finish is a tad disjointed at the moment.In Bond€778.00 -

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.
