The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has a cohesive, focused bouquet of pure red cherries, bergamot and undergrowth scents and nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin and well-judged acidity. Touches of spice and blood orange toward the sustained finish complete a really quite joyful 2015 Burgundy. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Drink between 2022-2045)
Tasted blind, the 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes was also showing well in its lavish, dramatic style, bursting with aromas of dark berries, spices and creamy high-quality new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and pure, with juicy acids and an open-knit, giving profile. It's one of the finest renditions of Les Chaumes that I've tasted from Maxime. 2018 - 2028
Bright purple colour. High toned nose, some VA?. Sweet fruit behind, rather lovely and the VA disappears. Very persistent indeed.
Very pale indeed. Edgy/vegy on the nose. Then amazingly round and fruity. Gorgeous smooth charm – the sort of character that some burgundy lovers might view with suspicion at this early stage! Hint of gaminess. Perhaps not quite the depth and breadth of fruit of some of them.
