The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes (Maison Louis Jadot) bursts with aromas of spices plums, orange rind, woodsmoke and sweet soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a more muscular, chewier and overtly structural profile than the preceding Beaux Monts.
Sweet and savoury in equal measure, the Chaumes has a dense, plump core of forest fruit on the nose. The palate is slick and soft on entry, revealing layers of boysenberry and red cherry at the centre. Savoury, crunchy tannins and bright acidity bring the freshness and add hints of dried flowers to the mix. The toasty oak is integrated and well measured, leaving a lingering spiciness on the long, pure finish.
