A moderately toasty and menthol-inflected nose is comprised by notes of black raspberry, cassis and spicy jasmine tea. The very rich and lush medium-bodied flavors possess surprisingly good power and minerality along with a copious of dry extract that does a good job of buffering the very firm tannic spine on the muscular, serious and built-to-age finish. ...

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru comes from three lieux-dits: Les Charmes, Les Petits-Monts and Aux Malconsorts. It has a very composed bouquet of ample ripe raspberry, crushed strawberry, veins of blue fruit and a touch of crushed stone. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. A light oyster shell note pokes up toward the harmonious, velvety finish. This is going to be very seductive.

Aromas of blueberries, candied cherries and lemon zest. Full-bodied yet tight and focused on the palate with a beautiful balance of tannins and a crisp finish. Needs a year or two to come together. Better after 2021.

Rated 90 by Wine Advocate
Aromas of red berries, spices and sweet soil tones introduce the 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru, a medium-bodied wine with an open-knit core and chewy structuring tannins. Perhaps it was simply out of sorts when I tasted it, but it certainly doesn't appear to possess the same depth and incipient complexity as the lovely 2016 rendition.
Winery
Beautiful bright deep colour. The wines offer a great aromatic complexity. The nose exudes notes of violet, Morello cherry, strawberry, combined with hints of coffee, chocolate and even truffle. The palate confirms the delicacy of pinot noir. Its refined aromas are supported by silky tannins. Lingering elegant aftertaste.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Region: Burgundy

The beautiful region of Burgundy in France is famously home to some of the most exquisite red wines to be found anywhere on earth, and is most commonly associated with the silky, elegant and flavorful Pinot Noir varietal wines which are commonly produced there. However, the superb and mineral rich soils fed by the Rhone river, and the long hot summers and mild autumns of the region produce a wide variety of fine grapes, and as such, Burgundy produces plenty of different wines which are equally as good as the produce the region is famed for. The region of Burgundy itself has a wine-making history which stretches back at least two thousand years, and as such, it comes as no surprise that the wineries which fill the dozens of controlled appellations of the region rely heavily on traditional methods and techniques when it comes to producing their famous wines.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
