This village vineyard is away from Vosne-Romanée central being right next to RN74 and bordering Nuits-Saint-Georges. So in my mind it does taste NSG-like. Robust, good extract, cherry, dusty tannins and has some spice. A pleasure to experience. I've had the 2005 of this producer and vineyard. 2005 was better but this one is no slouch. Has life to it for at least a couple of years, so I updated the CT drinking window.

The years have done nothing for this wine. Moderately interesting nose. Palate is at first earthy with a bitter finish. A couple of days later nose was destroyed but bitterness was gone. However palate interest is actually down. Good.

Black and red cherry, a dusty minerality; ripe and layered. Ripe as well on the palate, red pinot fruit with ample flesh, some sappiness, and while it is not terrifically deep or long on the finish, the material is strong, and there is enough acidity to let this improve for another 3-5 years.
