  Vaudoisey is an up and coming domaine which has not garnered a lot of international notoriety yet. Recent vintages were well received by the French press however and this 2010 is very impressive too. Energetic and youthful, smoky stalks, sour cherries, pure and fresh, blue fruit and flowers, hint of forest floor, fine-boned tannins, very precise and engaging, excellent persistence and terroir expression. Drinking well but with another decade in hand.

  Drunk coq au vin: decanted for about 2 hours before drinking. Initiall impression was it was surprisingly tannic but not unpleasantly so. The nose was faint, aromatic with hints of pinot. The start of a lovely mouth feel. Very tight with the fruit slow to emerge. After about 3 hours of decanting, the fruit became more apparent. The major notes were of raspberries with damson on the finish. I will wait another 3 years before opening the next one.

  Burgundy 2012 Day 2: Visit to Christophe Vaudoisey (Volnay): This was good. Perhaps the most impressive of the wines on show, but also the tightest and, quite possibly, the one that will take the longest to come around. The exuberant nose was rather deceiving - very perfumed, with lots of flowery violet notes, expressive scents of cherries and blueberries and a nice bit of minerally earth, it was far more open than the palate that followed. Here, we got a wine that still held a lot of youthful, minerally austerity that one would expect from a top Caillerets, with subtle blue fruits and pretty violet notes still gripped by fine tannins on a backdrop of spice and mineral pulling away into a lovely finsih. This was a fine-boned, elegant wine, very defined, almost linear in its youth. While it may always be a little on the spare side, I really do like the feel on it and have no doubt that it will make a nice wine in time. This needs patience - 10 years or more - but it should reward the conscientious cellaring.
