This Vosne-Romanée reveals a great diversity of aromas: morello cherry, nutmeg, camphor wood, fine leather... and later, the aroma of truffles, for a quite astonishing whole. A perfect balance on the palate between tannins and acidity, a powerful, very long finish, a very harmonious richness, for a great Burgundy... A must!

Expert opinion
Decanter
Domain rated (2021 guide) Recommended
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
The house is now run by Frédéric Drouhin, supported by his sister Véronique for the wines and his brother Philippe in the vineyards. In July 2013, it opened an oenotheque in the heart of Beaune. It has found its cruising speed and is establishing itself as a safe bet. The house relies on a biodynamic vineyard particularly well endowed with great whites, in Côte-de-Beaune but also in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon brand), including the famous Clos des Mouches.

Note and review by M. OLIVIER G. Published on 08/08/2018
A wine that doesn't live up to its promise. 2011 was not a year for ageing: I've just tasted it and it's already lacking substance.
