Deep ruby red. Raspberry, strawberry. Vanilla. Chalk, Spices. Tannic. Spicy. Over one hour, into juicy, slight Herbaceous. R. Dubois & Fils Les Chalandins Vosne-Romanee 20 @15600, Umem, 250111-250208 — 10 months ago
This is surprisingly good! Nose screams Pinot from the Cote de Beaune. Sappy, sultry cherry, spice, moist limestoney loam. Soft textured and focused in the mouth. Good ripeness and zingy acids. Just enough super-soft tannin to provide some structure. Nice length. Terrific value (two words you don’t often hear when a Burgundy is the subject). — 4 years ago

Really enjoyed this. Decanted for ~2hrs. Beautiful perfume, absolutely delicious. Great balance, and a killer price. — 3 years ago

Wow. Such a nice wine coming from humble origins. Needs some air to express itself. On the nose yellow lilies, apple blossom, almost a hint of jasmine, just ripe yellow apple, just ripe pear, a touch of fresh vanilla. On the palate, this really shines. Ripe orchard fruits, rich without being cloying. Blind I would place this as a village Meursault. Yellow apple, pear, touch almond, buttery and rich texture with minimal oak, crème brûlée; I’m assuming from skillful lees management . Good acidity, decent length. 13 abv. 24 usd at the grocery store. I haven’t seen ratings anywhere near where I’ve placed this, but maybe this is a product of a good vintage? Either way, huge fan — 11 days ago
