Tasting notes
Light, bright blueish crimson. Exceptionally savoury nose and then very round on the palate with some good Vosne energy. Light rather than heavy or dense but with no shortage of fruit. (JR)

Cask sample. Mid cherry, lively dark-red fruit. Scented. Juicy, finely textured. Sour cherry on the finish. (JH)
The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Village, matured in 40% new oak, offers ripe kirsch and redcurrant scents on the nose, hints of honey and marmalade indicative of what was a warm growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin. There is impressive body and weight, although I would be seeking more finesse and delineation towards the finish by the time of bottling. It is a little sinewy at the moment, but it should gain more complexity with bottle age.
Bright, dark red. Attractive lift to the raspberry and floral aromas; this could hardly be more different from the village Gevrey. At once dense and creamy-sweet, conveying very good energy to the dark berry and floral flavors. Finishes bright and long, with substantial ripe, dusty tannins. Cheurlin produced just 29 hectoliters per hectares here, owing to the estate's high percentage of old vines.
