The 1991 Vosne-Romanee-Les Chaumes matches up nicely with some of the best premier crus of the vintage. It exhibits a sweet, creamy, cassis, and vanillin-scented nose, and deep, supple, rich flavors that effectively conceal most of the wine's tannin. It is a full-bodied, ripe, luscious 1991 that should be drunk over the next 8-12 years. Interestingly, I preferred the premier crus from Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanee to the two from Gevrey-Chambertin.Faiveley enjoyed success in 1991, producing deeply colored, powerful, noticeably tannic wines. These are not wines to consume early, but rather to cellar for several years while the tannins melt away. I do not foresee any difficulty with most of these wines drying out because of excessive tannin as they possess the concentration of fruit necessary to support the tannin.NOTES ON THE 1992s FROM BARREL: Faiveley's 1992s are not as rich or intense as the 1991s. They are made in a soft, accessible, fruity style that consumers will be able to enjoy immediately.Importers: Ideal Wines & Spirits, Medford, MA and Henry Cavalier Selections, Boulder, CO.
