The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes offers up a lovely bouquet of wild berry fruit, woodsmoke, spices and orange rind, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated but fine-boned palate, built around succulent acids and powdery tannins. This cuvée derives from holdings in Les Quartiers de Nuits—from the part of the lieu-dit that is not included within the boundaries of the Echézeaux Grand Cru—and contiguous Les Violettes. It was vinified with 60% whole cluster and matured in 50% new oak barrels.
