🏰 The 2014 vintage in Burgundy, despite early dampness, concluded with a stellar summer, sculpting wines of precision and eloquence. The Clos du Chateau 2014 was bottled in September and is noted for being more floral and expressive, offering more minerality and Vosne spiciness compared to other wines from the domaine. It's described as a very stylish wine. This wine offers a vibrant bouquet of raspberries, red plums, Vosne spice tones, woodsmoke, and a fine base of soil with discreet vanillin oak. It has a delightful red cherry and crushed strawberry nose with plenty of joie de vivre. On the palate, it is full-bodied, pure, and very elegant, with a fine core, suave tannins, and lovely length and grip. It presents juicy fruit, crisp minerality, and a vibrant, charming acidity, appearing light-footed and very expressive. The palate is well-balanced with crisp tannin, which will soften with time, and a fine structure on the finish with dried orange peel. It is an 【 essential expression of Vosne-Romanée's charm and finesse 】. 🍴 Excellent with roasted poultry, such as guinea fowl or duck, delicate beef dishes like beef Wellington, or mushroom-based preparations. For an Eastern touch, consider Cantonese braised abalone or a refined dim sum selection. 🥂 This elegant and expressive Vosne-Romanée is ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a special anniversary, or a gathering of discerning wine lovers. Its charm and finesse make it perfect for moments of celebration and appreciation. Decanting is recommended if trying a bottle upon release due to potential post-bottling reduction. Serve at cellar temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F).
