I really like Amelie's wines. She's been doing everything right since taking the reins and the wines are getting better and better with every vintage. This bottle, however, was not of standard I would say. Perhaps an off-bottle.
Right out of the bottle, VA was a touch high for my liking. Hints of baked fruit might indicate improper storage (although, unlikely with this merchant). Acid, while sufficient, was disjointed. Good fruit once the baked elements passed, centred around the red spectrum. Floral tones, forest floor, hint of spice, but kinda lacking in minerality. Not the best Berthaut I've had. Chicken was excellent 9.1/10

Interesting, nice smoky cedar, vibrant fruit. Always tough to rate burgundy due to the price inflation however would be happy to drink more of this.

Not the best Vosne-Romanee I've ever tasted but I'm pretty lucky to able to say that. This is an impressive wine boasting a level of sophistication and complexity that makes the price just a number.
