Tasting notes
The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges du Dessus 1er Cru has a generous bouquet featuring plenty of brambly red berry fruit, iodine and pressed iris aromas, the oak neatly enmeshed with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red berry fruit, a fine bead of acidity and good structure on the finish. Maybe a little more length would not come amiss, but fine overall. Modern in style but with some upswing with bottle age. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Tasted blind, Cécile Tremblay's 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Rouges du Dessus was showing superbly, bursting from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of orange rind, raspberries, cherries, espresso roast and subtle oak vanillin. On the palate, it's full-bodied, supple and complete, with a bright line of acids and a lavish core of fruit, framed by satiny tannins. The marriage between a cool site and the warm vintage has really worked well here.
