Tasting notes
Very deep, bright crimson. Real lift and race on the nose. Almost fizzy! With a light bitter note on the end. Very firm finish. The nose is so much more convincing than the palate … Giving it the benefit of the doubt. (JR)

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas felt too woody on the nose. Given that this was a barrel sample tasted in London, I feel that this is not a fit bottle from which to draw conclusions.
Pulled out half a hectare (161/49 rootstock issue) after 2022 and replanted in 2023. Mid crimson to ruby, with a slightly more savoury nose than the Chalandins. Discreet up front then some cherries emerge further back. A spicy style of Vosne after the gloss of Chalandins, with perhaps greater length as well as structure.
