No more than 50% new wood. Beautifully fresh. The pretty fruit is ripe but not heavy in any way. Great intensity, richly scented. All sweet, dark berries and some sophisticated wood spices. A voluptuous, sleekly creamy feel. Polished and dense - but still light on its toes. What an opener to this tasting. L&S (Nov 2019)

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes offers up a lovely bouquet of wild berry fruit, woodsmoke, spices and orange rind, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated but fine-boned palate, built around succulent acids and powdery tannins. This cuvée derives from holdings in Les Quartiers de Nuits—from the part of the lieu-dit that is not included within the boundaries of the Echézeaux Grand Cru—and contiguous Les Violettes. It was vinified with 60% whole cluster and matured in 50% new oak barrels. Rating: 90-92 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes is raised in around 50% new oak and includes about 60% whole bunch. It has a generous bouquet of red fruit laced with brown spices; a light marine influence develops with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly hard entry and a bit pinched at the moment. There is plenty of fruit concentration, although the finish needs more elegance and Pinoté character. Rating: 85-87 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2020)
