The 2011 Vosne-Romanée Village has a smooth and sensual bouquet that obliges coaxing from the glass, eventually revealing scents of crushed red cherry, strawberry and pressed white flowers. The aromatics feel cohesive and effortlessly bound together by the conspicuous oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, smooth and silky with ample red berry fruit and well-judged acidity. There is nothing pretentious about this Vosne-Romanée - just a really beautiful wine from Sébastien Cathiard. Tasted at Flint Wines Burgundy 2011 tasting.

More discreet if not invisible wood surrounds an expressive nose of red and black pinot fruit, spice and smoked tea aromas. There is a gorgeously refined mouth feel to the medium-bodied flavors that possess fine depth as well as nicely integrated tannins on the mouth coating and attractively persistent finish. An admirable villages. Drink: 2017+

(70% new oak): Bright red. Floral aromas of red fruits and smoky oak. At once silky and tangy in the mouth, with musky red berry flavors and a full dose of sexy new oak. Finishes with serious, oak-driven tannins.

Quite low key and seems quite severe after the exuberance of the 2012s. (JR)
