2021 Vosne-Romanee, Joseph Drouhin

The 2021 Vosne-Romanee Village comes from three parcels. It has a pretty violet-tinged bouquet that is simple but effective, well-defined with red cherries and kirsch. The palate is balanced with moderate weight, pure red fruit with an appealing, slightly tart finish. This punches above its weight. Savour this over the next 8-10 years. ~ (92) Neal Martin, Vinous 11-1-2022

A very refined Vosne-Romanee with aromas of bark, violets, lemon peel, cranberries and cloves. Elegant and medium-bodied, with nicely tight tannins and a direct finish. Drink or hold. ~ (93) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 6-28-2023

This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and it's enough to overshadow the underlying fruit. More interesting are the fresh and bright middleweight flavors that possess a velvet textured mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with youthfully austere finish that displays excellent depth and persistence for its level. This is unusually good for its level and worth considering, plus it should repay up to a decade of keeping. ~ (90) Allen Meadows, Burghound 4-10-2023
