Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid ruby. And lift off! Cracking acidity right out of the gate. Rather beautiful mix of juicy red cherries and strawberries with a more savoury, earthy side too. Complex with very persistent length. Top red burgundy. (MH)

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru is a little taciturn at first, but it only takes a little aeration to reveal brambly red fruit, briar, black pepper and light graphite scents. This is quite complex and, like Grivot's other 2023s, very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasing crunchy texture on the entry. One of the more peppery Vosne-Romanées, again, you could be deceived into thinking there were stems in blend when there are none. It sashays toward a very harmonious finish. This is superb.
