Domaine du Clos-Frantin, Vosne-Romanee 2016

92 points Decanter
"Velvet texture and bright, cool, complex dark and cherry fruit, rich and harmonious, buoyed up by sing-song acidity and fine tannins."

Jancis Robinson
"Subtle confected fruit on the nose, fully loaded palate with weight and fragrance and persistence. Dry and relatively light in body, but there is great core flavour that persists on the finish, and a touch of soy character to give complexity. 17.5/20 points. (RH)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
It is in this small village with 210 ha (518 acres) of vines located in the northern Cote de Nuits that the most renowned Burgundy reds such as Romanee-Conti and Richebourg are produced. Both the villages of Vosne-Romanee and Flagey-Echezeaux are authorized to use the Vosne-Romanee appellation. The vines are located in the Damaudes and Maizieres vineyards - an alliance between 2 opposed yet very complementary terroirs. Tasting Notes: The nose of this Vosne-Romanée features tobacco, tea and mild notes of spice. The palate is velvety with silky tannins, lovely fullness and remarkable balance. The finish is long and aromatic. Food Pairing: Try this Vosne-Romanée with red meat dishes, game in sauce and most cheeses.
