Domaine Bruno Clavelier Vosne-Romanée 1° cru Aux Brûlées VV 2014

Bruno Clavelier maakt enkele van de allermooiste Bourgognes. Zijn wijnen zijn extreem rasvol en vol finesse en tonen op quasi onnavolgbare wijze de nuance verschillen tussen de diverse terroirs. De wijnen vereisen wel enkele jaren rijping, maar uw geduld wordt dan wel bijzonder beloond.

Dit hooggelegen koeler perceel, maar met een snel opwarmende bodem van “grèzes litées” geeft een bijzonder complexe, spannende wijn met een uiterst geschakeerd boeket. Die spanning
vinden we zeker terug in de mond, er gebeurt iets in deze finesserijke, intrigerende wijn.

Vinous (Stephen Tanzer): “(from a south-facing site in a cool combe): Healthy dark red with ruby tones. A very ripe black cherry aroma is brightened by building minerality. Thick and intense, with racy acidity giving shape to the middle palate. More black fruits than red, which Clavelier says is typical of his 2014s. Notes of licorice and dark chocolate emerge with aeration. The tannins are silky but quite firm and the finish is fruity and long. Showed lovely density of texture and harmony with time in the glass.”
Wine Advocate (Neal Martin): “The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées had a more floral bouquet in the making, nicely defined, just a touch of reduction to get through at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black cherry and raspberry fruit on the entry, nicely judged acidity, but just needing a little more precision to come through on the finish. If that transpires, then it will certainly deserve a higher score, but I will be prudent for now.”
