Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes Noëllat 2018

“Opening in the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berry fruit, warm spices, burning embers and espresso roast, the 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes is medium to full-bodied, velvety and lively, with a deep core of fruit and ample reserves of powdery tannin that makes its presence felt on the finish. This is one cuvée where the evolution in Maxime Cheurlin’s winemaking style is especially evident, as what was formerly a very approachable wine has become rather serious.” – 92+, William Kelley, Robert Parker
