2014 Vosne-Romanée Les Champs Perdrix Domaine Perrot-Minot

This notably spiced effort offers up a broad-ranging nose of violet, plum, black cherry and Asian-style tea. The sleek and rich but agreeably textured and rich middle weight flavors possess fine length if not quite the overall complexity of the old vines Chambolle. Lovely and very well-balanced and with time in bottle it is entirely possible that this will catch its stable mate.

The 2014 Vosne Romanée Champs Perdrix Vieilles Vignes has a perfumed nose with wilted rose petals littered across the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasing succulence on the entry; there is a touch of orange zest infusing the red cherries and strawberry, whilst the tannin impart a slight chalky texture and tension on the finish. This is worth checking out once in bottle, but give it 3-4 years.

Red Seductive aromas of cherry, wild berry and flowers are subtly enhanced by oak spice in this supple red. Beautifully balanced and intense in a seamless way. The long aftertaste echoes the fruit and leaves a mouthwatering impression. Best from 2019 through 2035.-
