Upon pouring, there was a lot of funk, mushroom, perhaps even cardboard smell. Someone had mentioned its corked but we decided to let it breathe in the bottle for 2-3 hours. Glad we didn't give up on it because on the second try, the wine was full of bright red cherries with candy/herbal notes and flowers. The same person who said it was corked now said this was a Rousseau. I can see why, but there was sandalwood and airiness that pointed to Vosne Romanee. I'm a fan of Hudelot Noellat, but I didn't know it would become this lovely. — 7 years ago

The VV is their signature wine. He feels that it needs a min of 10 yrs before it is ready to drink. Approx 1/6 of the 17 is mixed with the Fontaines. — 5 years ago
