"The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Les Hautes Mazières comes from vines located just below Les Suchots on limestone soils, the same that are found in Mazis-Chambertin. Slightly darker in color than the other village crus, it has a lifted bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry and desiccated orange peel, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannin that imbues this with more edginess than the La Combe Brûlées. It remains linear, focused and strict, however, there is plenty of power on the fennel-tinged finish. This is excellent.” (RP)

Bruno Clavelier makes some of the very finest Bourgognes. His wines are extremely varietal and full of finesse, showing the nuance differences between the various terroirs in a quasi-inimitable way. The wines do require several years of ageing, but your patience will be particularly rewarded.

Les Hautes Maizières lies just below premier cru Les Suchots and has a more clayey soil, giving a more muscular, creamier wine.
