2021 Domaine Anne-Francoise Gros, Vosne-Romanee, Les Chalandins 6x75cl
An ethereal, single climat Vosne-Romanée bursting with cherry and berry fruit; a silky mouthfeel and tannins and in the background, a wisp of toasty oak. Exceptional quality achieved at this level. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2020 Domaine Anne-Francoise Gros, Vosne-Romanee, Les Chalandins 6x75cl
The wedding of Vosne-Romanée's Anne-Françoise Gros to Pommard's François Parent led to the establishment in 1988 of this superb domaine, with excellent holdings across both the Côte de Beaune and... the Côte de Nuits. With the help of their children Caroline and Mathieu, they produce generous wines of power and depth, with gentle extraction and cool maceration giving the wines a beautifully seductive velvety texture. The bottlings' labels are all adorned with a different female head, inspired by Anne-Françoise and the artist's interpretation of the vineyard's style.
Berry fruits and cherries pervade this wonderful expression of single climat Vosne-Romanée. It has a delightfully soft mouthfeel with silky tannins and a hint of toasty oak in the background. An outstandingly well-made wine at this level.

2020 Aurelien Verdet, Vosne-Romanee, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Once again Aurélien demonstrates his superb understanding of terroirs, and handles the fruit in such a way as to produce a textbook Vosne, all velvet, raspberry coulis and white chocolate. There is excellent structure here, and it is built to age gracefully for the next decade easily.
