Gros Frère & Soeur

2007 Gros Frère & Soeur Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

Declassified Echézeaux from vines that are about 10 years old. Slightly more diffuse aromatics. In the mouth there’s just a little more width and more tannin too – but fine tannin. It’s okay, slightly less charming than the basic villages, but there are better ‘values’ in this vintage.

A sweet and nicely focused nose. In the mouth it’s full and intense and coupled to slightly grainy tannins – what a difference a few more vine years makes! Good length with plenty of barrel flavour. Good wine.

The nose his nice depth, but less width than the Echézeaux. Intense with some slightly savoury flavours – also the acidity seems a little tart. Good length, but versus many other wines here – probably not worth the tariff.

A very pretty floral aspect to the nose, floating above lovely fruit. Width and complexity and intensity. Then a reprise of the flavours after the mid-plate as you go into a super finish. A wine that’s so good, it plays tricks on you!

High toned with pretty red fruits. Ripe and sweet in the mouth with some grainy tannin. Decent mid-palate complexity. Not too much wood – this is very nice.
