2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots, Sylvain Cathiard

2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots, Sylvain Cathiard

The Reignots vineyard sits on the steep incline of the hill as it rises up just above La Romanée. It has very thin, poor topsoil, and the 2020 is hyperconcentrated, with plummy, dark fruit refreshed by chalky tannins.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru, from vines planted in 1997, has a very ripe nose with black cherries and fig, powerful and maybe not quite as well defined as the En Orveaux. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, succulent and luxuriant, this just bordering Grenache in style. This is maybe one I would have picked earlier. Maybe I will proved wrong once this is in bottle.
