2021 Vosne-Romanée, Les Chaumes, 1er Cru, Arnaud Baillot, Burgundy

Description

There is a great depth on the nose – ripe strawberry, cassis, raspberry and spice alongside a certain sweetness which evokes ripe candied cherry (if that exists) – creating a complex fresh bouquet on the nose. Suave on the palate, in addition to the fruit purity, this Chaumes has savoury notes alongside leather and smokiness giving it a great complexity and a long finish. Lovely and a serious step up compared to his straight Vosne Romanee.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
