The 2010 Vosne-Romanee Les Malconsorts literally floats on the palate. Gracious and ethereal, the Malconsorts shows off remarkable elegance in its hints of plum, dark berries, dried flowers and licorice. The Malconsorts is flat-out gorgeous now, but its best days clearly lie ahead. 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. Importer: Atherton Imports, Menlo Park, CA; tel. (650) 328-6639
