The 2010 Vosne-Romanee is a very pretty wine layered with expressive dark red fruit, spices and menthol. It shows good depth in a weightless, sensual expression of Vosne. Here, too, the energy and sheer verve of the vintages comes through in spades. This is a great Vosne villages. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
Jean-Nicolas Meo was away on the day of my visit, so I tasted with assistant winemaker Peer Reiss. The harvest started on September 22 and took about ten days to complete. Overall, I am a big fan of the 2010s here. Although I did not get a chance to taste the 2009s from bottle, my notes suggest 2010 will turn out to be the more interesting vintage. The Meo-Camuzet negociant wines are reviewed separately.
