Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine Georges Noëllat, Vosne Romanee Petits Monts 2014

By -

The Vosne Petits Monts is a decadent wine … The nose is bursting with juicy and cool red and dark fruits … a notch more airy than the Chaumes offering a finely tuned filigree minerality. On the palate deep layered fruit – slightly darker set than the Chaumes – with a lovely inner tension and energy. It’s long, quite intense with a fine acidity adding to the refinement and airyness. Will provide a lot of decadent, hedonistic pleasure over the next decades … a top end Petits Monts …

Vins d’émotion – wines that offer joy and hedonistic thrills

The principle with vins d’emotion is that they bring you extraordinary joy and hedonistic thrills.  A wine can be great, and at the same time not quite be a vin d’emotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have therefore created four levels of emotion recommendation: from the true and rare vin d’émotion to wines with some emotional potential.

A true vin d’émotion – a Burgundy of passion

A truly hedonistic wine – lively and enjoyable

A vivacious wine for pure indulgance
