2023, Domaine A. -F. Gros, VOSNE-ROMANÉE, 'Aux Réas'Pulled out half a hectare (161 49 rootstock issue) after 2022 and replanted in 2023. Mid crimson to ruby, with a slightly more savoury nose than the Chalandins. Discreet up front then some cherries emerge further back. A spicy style of Vosneafter the gloss of Chalandins, with perhaps greater length as well as structure. Drink from 2029 2034. **** 90 93 Jasper Morris MW Ripe though again attractively fresh nose speak of red and dark currant, plum,

mandarin peel and clove

This is already delicious and

with harvest from the end of August until September 22

the sauvage and an abundance of floral elements

It's a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc

rich and beautifully detailed medium weight flavours that are unusually powerful for this wine

supported by fantastic tension and incredibly ripe

Great phenolic maturity

000 bottles produced

taking things slowly

High-toned fruit

It’s the sort of wine that is not trying to be anything more than was possible in this vintage
