The 2013 Vosne-Romanée Village has a gentle lilting crushed strawberry and Morello-scented bouquet that wafts from the glass, neatly carrying the 50% new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with quite sharp tannin on the entry, crisp malic acidity with a pointed tart cherry finish. This is a fine introduction to the delights of this domaine's wines.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée presents a striking interplay of aromas, textures and flavors, all backed up by beams of minerality and lively acidity. Hard candy, flowers and spices add nuance in an impeccable village-level Burgundy. A collection of five parcels informs the blend.

Good dark red. Musky aromas of redcurrant and smoky minerality. The tightly wound palate conveys an attractive restrained sweetness, with spice and herb notes adding complexity to the red fruit flavors. Most impressive today on the back end, which features serious mouth-saturating, dusty tannins, resounding saline minerality and very good length. Turned a touch dry in the glass.

50-60% new oak. Five parcels in three lieux-dits, not the best placed. Chanondins, Champs Goudins, Just below La Colombière by Anne Gros’ cuverie. Very sweet and fruity and full on. Lots of tension and just a little dry and faded on the finish. But masses of energy on the end. Dry, not that long a finish. (JR)
