Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine Robert Sirugue, Vosne Romanee 2011

By -

The Vosne Romanee 2011 from Sirugue is a nice little village wine. The nose is slightly closed but showing crisp fruit, hints of Vosne spices, liquorice and oak. On the palate quite fresh and crisp fruit – well balanced and forward. It’s offering Vosne-Romanee character at a quite reasonable price, but is lacking some concentration to match the better village wines from this appelation. I quite like the style and the drinkability … but the yield is in the high end – a Vosne village for pleasure only.

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

The principle with vins d’émotion 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’émotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have created four levels of emotional 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

A wine with a emotional potential
