Forey's 2006 Vosne-Romanee – assembled from more than a dozen parcels and several fermented lots – features an essence of ripe black raspberry and cassis, with somewhat detached hints of caramel and spice from the new share of oak. This is brighter in personality than the corresponding Morey, but – at least for now – lacks quite its textural allure, seamlessness, or depth of flavor. (Could the fact that one lot was filtered be contributory, perhaps to a tardy marriage of the assembled parts?) But there is a promising abundance of snappy, tart-edged, yet admirably ripe primary fruit, augmented by chalk and cherry pit in the persistent finish. I suspect this will be better in 2010 and capable of holding nicely for 4-5 years. Regis Forey insists that only negligible triage was necessary on his 2006 crop, and in addition to the advantages of lees contact conferred by protracted and relatively late malolactic transformation, he also did some active stirring to fatten the young wines. Finished alcohol levels in this collection vary between what appear on the basis of taste to be an ideal 12.5%-13.5%, and with the exception of an uncooperative portion of his village Vosne-Romanee, none of these wines was filtered.Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel.
