The 2018 Vosne-Romanée is showing beautifully, soaring from the glass with a deep bouquet of wild berries, plums and cherries mingled with sweet spices, woodsmoke, grilled squab and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, with fine concentration, lively acids and an expansive finish.

Cathiard's 2017 Vosne-Romanée is showing brilliantly from bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berry fruit, warm spices, woodsmoke, musk and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with lively acids, excellent depth at the core and a long, exotically perfumed finish.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée Village has a gentle lilting crushed strawberry and Morello-scented bouquet that wafts from the glass, neatly carrying the 50% new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with quite sharp tannin on the entry, crisp malic acidity with a pointed tart cherry finish. This is a fine introduction to the delights of this domaine's wines.
