The Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsort 2010 from Domaine Dujac is potentially a magnificent wine - although this example perhaps was a bit advanced.

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Musigny 2004
The 2004 Musigny from Vogëé is starting to unfold and shedding the slight austerity. It's a bit rustic and still some tannnins left. Strong minerality - classic Musigny - with a good mid-palate fruit. I sort of prefer the Dujac Bonnes Mares 2004 for … [Read more...] about Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Musigny 2004

A very refined and elegant Chambolle .. will no doubt … [Read more...] about Domaine Georges Roumier, Chambolle Les Cras 1996
Domaine Bruno Clavelier, Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 2015
The Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 2015 from Bruno Clavelier is a brilliant wine and one of the best I have tasted from this estate. The nose is bursting with layers of fruit - mainly red berries - hence avoiding the slightly dense character of the 2015 … [Read more...] about Domaine Bruno Clavelier, Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 2015
Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 2016
The Berthaut-Gerbet Les Suchots is a brilliant wine .. for the year, and for the estate. It's vivid and energetic with plenty of fruit - lovely balance and length. It's a truly lovely 2016, a gorgeous Les Suchots .. stunningly good to be honest - one … [Read more...] about Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 2016
