The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Hautes Maizières, from vines that more or less back onto the walls of Clos Vougeot, contains 80% whole bunches. The harmonious bouquet of red currant and cranberry fruit reveals touches of crushed stone and forest floor. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, a perfect line of acidity and beautiful focus, plus a tang of spice toward the structured finish. Superb. (Drink between 2022-2038)
From the northern end where the soils are redder. This is so svelte, in an absolutely lovely ethereal style with soft strawberries gossamer texture again. A lighter wine than Bruno Clavelier makes, but very lovely. Tasted: November 2018.
Mid to light cherry red. Dark-red-fruited and gently spiced. A subtle herbal freshness. Relatively light on the palate, quite strict, the tannins finely grained but present. Drink: 2021-2029.
