2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées, Domaine Michel Gros

2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées, Domaine Michel Gros

This premier cru neighbours Richebourg, and has a lot of limestone on the soil. This gives the wine great definition and drive on the palate. As ever, it is quite a broad-shouldered wine, with good stature promising ageing potential. But there is also Vosne’s classic velvet power in the fruit, matched with some toasty oak.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru comes from a parcel just next to their new plot in Richebourg. I gave this three or four minutes to open in the glass. Eventually, it offers enticing scents of redcurrant jam, white-tipped strawberries, and dried white flowers. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a "sexy" opening of confit red fruit, maybe a little too sweet for my liking, with hints of fig and marmalade towards the finish. Yet it has charm and feels more approachable than some of its peers. Very fine, but I might have picked this a day earlier, hence my prudent score.
