Tasting notes
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Charmes des Mazières 1er Cru has a slightly stilted bouquet of dark brambly fruit, a little earthy for a Vosne-Romanée. The palate is well balanced, tensile and slightly briny, with slightly chalky tannins and moderate depth, though it needs more weight on the finish. Guyon produced better 2017s. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Guyon walks the old-vine parcels that produce this cuvée a day or two before harvest, selecting grapes by taste and marking which vines to pick and which to relegate to the regular Vosne-Romanée. The ensuing 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Charmes de Mazières is outstanding, unfurling in the glass with a deep but reserved bouquet of wild berries, rose petal, cinnamon, incense and orange rind. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and deeper, more concentrated and more layered than the regular Vosne, framed by fine chewy tannins that will need some time. It's a wine that transcends the vintage.
