The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Brûlées, which was blended a couple of weeks prior to my visit, is raised in 30% new oak. It has a lovely ripe cranberry and raspberry bouquet with well ingrated wood, touches of rose petal and oyster shell emerging with time in glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, quite structured with a firm grip and a stern finish that suggests this will benefit from 4 to 5 years in bottle.
