Note di degustazione
(from a crop level of 31 hectoliters per hectare and vinified with one-third whole clusters): Bright medium red. Darker and riper on the nose than the basic village bottling, showing good lift to its aromas of black cherry, dark berries, licorice and violet. This juicy, dry, rather elegantly styled wine offers an attractive balance of berry intensity and saline minerality. Finishes with suave tannins and very good subtle length. No shortage of volume in this excellent village bottling.

(33% new oak): Bright medium red. Aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and smoky oak, plus a whiff of gunflint. Sweet and suave in the mouth, showing better acidity and definition to its supple plum and red berry flavors than the Vosne villages . Bigger, broader and deeper but also more elegant. Finishes with ripe tannins and lingering notes of red fruits, spices and underbrush.
Matured in around one-third new oak, the 2014 Vosne-Romanée Clos d'Eugénie was stubbornly closed when I tasted it from barrel, though there is a light marine influence that appears with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, good density here, and a touch of oak to be subsumed on the finish. It is nicely focused, although it just feels a little static at the moment.
Six casks, of which two are new. 33% whole bunch but quite challenging. They opened each bunch to check its health. Not a registered name; a commercial name. To be bottled by the end of the year (ie 2015). Dark crimson. More high-toned nose and fresher palate than the village wine. Lots of ripeness! Very suave and racy. But not for the very long term. The charm card is played hard. (JR)
