The 2010 Vosne-Romanee is a touch compact, but it was also racked the day before my visit. I very much like its energy, and there is good definition and depth to the fruit, so I am hopeful the wine will be just fine once it settles down a bit. Floral notes add complexity on the saline, vibrant finish. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030.
Once again this year I tasted with Charles Van Canneyt, Alain Hudelot’s grandson. Yields were down 30% across the board, a significant drop but not terrible considering the year. Overall the 2010s are very strong and seem to point towards a style that is a bit more refined than in the past.
