Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2012 Vosne-Romanee Village comes from two parcels in “Les Barreaux” and “Aux Communes”, the former representing a good 70% of the blend. It is actually one of the last cuvees to be harvested as it is a cool site. It has a tightly wound, slightly laconic bouquet that takes some coaxing from the glass, eventually offering black rather than red tertiary fruit. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut red berry fruit with a crisp, chalky structure towards the finish. This will probably need two or three years in bottle to really unfurl. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village was a little sullen when I tasted the barrel sample, offering broody black fruit and quite a strong marine influence plus a touch of black olive. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, quite Morey-like in terms of structure, leading to a more austere finish than some of its peers at the moment. Will need time. |

Wine Advocate (88)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru les Genevrières has a terse, stony and stoic nose that demands encouragement. Almost Chablis-like but very well focused. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, but it needed the weight to back up this reserved linear style. Still, you can sit back and admire the saline finish that feels long in the mouth. |

The finish boasts excellent texture and stony grip, calling for patience. The crop level was just 30 hectoliters per hectare, as there was more hail here than in Perrières. |
