(these 18-year-old vines are planted to three clones): The most reduced of these 2014s on the nose, but still with captivating scents of black raspberry, licorice and pungent crushed-rock minerality. Delivers a wonderfully silky texture enlivened by harmonious acidity. One senses a strong rocky element and yet the wine shows no edges. This seamless wine boasts a long, rising finish featuring a hint of dark chocolate and noble tannins. A beauty, and clearly a bottling to follow as the vines continue to mature.

Courtesy of the domaine's youngest vines, the 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots has a perfumed, floral bouquet with rose petal scents infusing the mixture of red and black fruit, here the oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, veering more towards red fruit with a touch of gaminess and sous-bois towards the finish. Very fine.
