James Suckling 96pt

This great Vosne-Romanee is still youthful and quite tightly wound. But it has a very elegant personality, with fine tannins and delicate notes of red roses and licorice. Terrific minerality at the very long and precise finish.

Description

Vosne-Romanee, famous the world over for its Grand Crus, also produces some Premier Crus of an outstanding quality. "Les Chaumes" is located underneath the plot of "Aux Malconsorts" at the same altitude as the village of Vosne-Romanee and North of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The iron-based soil is ideal for growing Pinot Noir. The grapes reach full maturity and produce wonderfully aromatic wines. The term "Chaumes" has the same origin as "Charmes", it indicates that it was unplanted land before becoming a vineyard.
