The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes contains a small percentage of whole-bunch fruit. It has a very seductive and very floral bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and crushed violet scents storming from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with some new oak to be subsumed on the entry (there is 20% in the final blend), very well balanced and focused with an agreeable succulence that delivers the long finish. Maybe this does not quite possess the panache of the 2015 last year, but it is a lovely Vosne-Romanée that will deserve a couple of years in bottle.
