Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru is entirely whole cluster fruit matured in 50% new oak. It has a backward and reticent bouquet, yet one can tell there are coiled up black fruit here, mixed with raspberry coulis and mulberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, slightly chewy tannin at first, grippy and assertive in style. Yet it manages to retain admirable balance with an engaging, quite saline, lightly spiced finish that fans out with style. Excellent.

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Malconsorts is also showing beautifully, soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis, peonies, orange rind and dark berry fruit, with little hint of the tertiary complexity to come. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, but it has real depth and concentration at the core too, despite the charm of the vintage. The finish is long and penetrating.

Winemaker Brian Sieve suggests this has the stuffing that surpasses some grands crus. 100% whole bunch, 55% new oak. Bought from Moillard – between Bichot and Dujac’s parcels. Vines aged over 60 years. Organic and biodynamic farming.Mid crimson and dark-fruited and spiced on the nose. Both ripe and crunchy. Power and chew on the palate, but it has wonderful elegance in its dark, rocky fruit profile, and the tannins slim down on the finish. Dark and subtle beauty. Great length. (JH)
