The 2012 Vosne-Romanee Villages is more than Rouget’s other crus at the moment, despite rigorous coaxing. The palate is structured with quite firm tannins. There is good substance and weight in the mouth, already showing plenty of finesse and finishing with a delicate spicy touch. I suspect that this will need two or three years of bottle age upon release.
