2016 VOSNE ROMANÉE 1ER CRU AUX BRÛLÉES DOMAINE D'EUGÉNIE - 6x75cl

Tasting Notes

  Goedhuis, November 2017

  Just four barrels were made, 50% new oak. This has a deep black fruit aroma that carries its smoky oak well. The refreshing palate is pepped up by distinct salinity.

  The whole cluster vinification is more evident here with its intense floral and spice nuances that add breadth to the pretty dark pinot fruit scents that are trimmed in discreet wood hints. The more mineral-inflected and detailed medium weight flavors possess a really lovely mouthfeel before terminating in a beautifully persistent finale. This is also very Vosne in style but it will need at least a few years of cellaring first. Outstanding. Drink: 2026+

  Bright, dark red. Reduced nose dominated by flinty minerality. A pungent, energetic midweight with excellent inner-mouth tension to its flavors of wild strawberry and saline minerality. Some unabsorbed CO2 currently accentuates the impression of sappiness. This very firmly built wine finishes ripe but dry, with sneaky mounting length. The estate is beginning to replant vines in all of its vineyards and will need to drill into the rock under the shallow layer of topsoil in this site.
