  A wonderful positive surprise was this bottle. It showed very Vosne in characteristic, no woodiness or hardness / iron I often find in NSG, this was for the vintage fairly compact in dark berry flavour profile but also fanned out floral with time in the glass and wonderful sweetness for the vintage. A success!

  At the intersection of Vosne-Romanée and Nuits St. Georges, gradually leaning towards the latter as it opened up over time, with a fine balance of elegance and robustness, of airy aroma and developing bouquets.
  
  Popped and poured in the glass, instantly oozing a lovely mix of drying rose petals and ripe raspberries, before taking on a tinge of darker fruits like boysenberry then bramble with underlying sous bois and integrated oak spices, both on the nose and palate. Drinking greatly now, but no rush to open (well, if you have patience!).

  Love Maxime Cheurlin’s winemaking and the Aux Cras terroir, but this bottle showed very simple and one dimensional with a ton of unintegrated oak which remained prevalent despite a lengthy decant.

  PnP. Blackberry, woodsmoke, after 30 mins or so some surprising honey - almost like a rich old sweet wine - mahogany. Palate becomes richer and more concentrated with time, still mainly blackberry fruit, bramble, herbal notes, fine tannins. Some tartness from the vintage. Smooth but fresh. Long. As with the nose plenty of evidence of the oak. Even though this is young, and the parts need longer to come together, there is already so much pleasure in this wine, especially after an hour+ of air, I can't stop drinking it! For those of us who are drinkers and not investors, this is why Maxime - and many of the other young Burgundy Winemakers who are less known - are so exciting. While styles are different - some are min sulphur, some not, some (carefully chosen) new oak, some not, some whole bunch / stems, some not etc - all of them aim to produce wines that people will love drinking. Wines that will give pleasure throughout their drinking windows whatever the vintage has given them. Wines that make you smile. Rant over. Fabulous wine. Enjoyed throughout but needed the hour+ for both nose and palate to really start showing well.
