Details
Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru "Les Brûlées "
A parcel en metayage from Méo-Camuzet, Les Brûlées or Aux Brûlées, is located just below Cros Parantoux and Richebourg with the same due east exposure. The soil is very thin with the inclusion of many pebbles, leading to powerful, structured wines. In addition, the vines in this parcel are quite old - the majority of them were planted in the 1930s.
Remarkably fresh and while the wonderfully complex and sexy nose is now fully mature, there is nary a hint of sous bois or other post-secondary aromas in sight. Initially, the flavors are quite rich and full though after an hour of air, the lighter side of the '82 vintage begins to reveal itself. Still, this is an exceptionally good wine on an absolute basis and an incredible wine for the vintage. In a word, terrific and drinking perfectly now though it should hold for another 10 years.
