2017 Domaine d'Eugenie Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Brulees 750ml

VM(91-93)

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru is matured with 60% whole clusters. It has a clean, precise bouquet of black cherry, bilberry, minerals and a touch of pressed iris, much better than the two Village Crus from d’Eugénie. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, a fine bead of acidity, gentle grip and a slight lactic note toward the finish. It is not a deep or powerful Aux Brûlées but it feels persistent and has a silky-smooth texture. Give it four to six years in bottle. (Drink between 2022-2038)
