The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Village has a much lighter bouquet than the 2015 last year, with scents of wild strawberry and wet stone, quite conservative in style. The palate is well balanced with a grainy entry, a fresh line of acidity, quite compact with a very linear and straight-laced finish that just needs to flesh out during the remainder of its élevage.
A blend from 12 different vineyards – 20% on white soils near Nuits-St-George and 80% behind their house in the middle of the village and north of it. Bright cherry red. Soars out of the glass. Very sweet start but lots of energy. Very pure. Chalky texture on the end. Crunchy fruit. (Drink between 2020-2028)
