Racked sample from tank – soon to be bottled. Really quite rich and round. Very gorgeous already thanks to the intensity of the fruit. But it clearly has a long life ahead of it. Exciting wine. (JR)

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée le Clos d'Eugénie is matured in around 30% new oak this year and includes 50% whole clusters. It has a very attractive bouquet of well-defined cranberry and wild strawberry fruit, and fine mineralité and tension are on display. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, darker fruit vis-à-vis the Vosne Village and a saline, black-pepper-tinged finish. Recommended.
From a walled plot just beside the winery. Not a registered name; a commercial name. 50% whole bunch. Three of the eight barrels were new. Barrel sample, no added sulphites. Mid cherry red. Super-refined aroma of dark-red fruit. A touch of stemmy freshness on the nose, slightly herbal. Tight, lithe, dry and full of energy, with a rocky/stone dry quality to the tannins. Extreme. Freshness is in the aromas. Winemaker Michel Mallard says it was very gourmand when first in barrel but that after 12 months it has lost that richness and become much tighter in the mouth. Elegant and tight on the palate. Dry, corseted and elegant. Long too. (JH)
