Tasting notes
Fragrant nose of black raspberries and summer flowers with a delicate hint of oak. Suave and sophisticated, this is light on its feet, like a tiny dancer, but held aloft by a very solid support of fine tannins. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village exhibits aromas of cassis, sweet berry fruit, exotic spices and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming palate that's bright, precise and penetrating. More refined than its 2018 counterpart, this is promising.
The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village has a pretty, floral bouquet, wilted rose petals infusing the open-knit red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and cohesive toward the disarmingly smooth finish. This will be difficult to resist in the flush of youth.
