Tasting notes
Moderately saturated medium red. Livelier on the nose than the Charmois, with scents of black cherry, graphite and dark chocolate lifted by a floral quality. At once sweet and savory on the palate, with lovely acidity framing the red berry and cherry fruit flavors and extending the finish. Suaver and more pliant than the Charmois but the wine's more serious tannins and an element of peppery lift on the back end call for at least a couple years of patience.

Bottled last February, the 2014 Vosne Romanee has a fragrant red cherry and cranberry-scented bouquet that is conservative but well defined. There is plenty of freshness here. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, vibrant dark berry fruit, a touch of cola and fine mineralité on the finish. Excellent.
Good focus and interest. Racy and lively – so much better than the Lavières. (JR)
Dark red. Aromas of raspberry, spices and flowers accented by an herbal element. Light and lively in the mouth, with the red berry flavors enlivened by peppery herbs. A wine of modest sweetness and stuffing and currently a touch dry on the end.
