A slightly more deeply pitched nose features notes of plum-suffused red cherry and sandalwood scents that unveil plenty of Vosne-style spice elements. There is good richness to the caressing and delicious medium-bodied flavors that tighten up somewhat on the lingering and focused finale. This will need to develop more depth with time in bottle but should it do that it should merit the upper end of my projected range.
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru comes from just over half a hectare of vine split over two parcels. It has a pretty bouquet of perfumed red berry fruit laced with pressed rose petals and light sous-bois scents. The palate commences with a fleshy opening, then offers pure red fruit laced with a pinch of spice. Gentle and caressing in the mouth, with a nicely delineated finish. The headline here is just "drinkability," and it will only require a couple of years in bottle.
