Tasting notes
The 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes has realized all the potential it displayed in barrel. Mingling aromas of wild berries and cassis with hints of rose petals and loamy soil in an inviting bouquet, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with a deep core of fruit, lively acids and velvety tannins. This is a cuvée that has really taken a step up this year.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has slightly deeper fruit than the Les Hautes Maizières, bilberry and raspberry, autumn leaves, a touch of white pepper. This gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple opening, a little more lactic in texture with veins of dark chocolate infusing the red fruit, cohesive towards the finish with good grip on the finish. This will need time, a little broad-shouldered, almost Morey-like in a way.
