Critics Ratings

‘Tighter-knit and more reticent than the 2017 rendition, the 2016 Vosne-Romanée Village exhibits notes of dark plummy fruit, blood orange, grilled game and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy, with juicy acids and good depth and length. I suspect that this cuvée will gain immensely over the coming years as Charles Lachaux's vineyard work makes more and more of a difference.’ – William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Jan 2019)

‘Some evolution evident on the nose; much more complexity than the other 2016 village wines from this address. Lots of juice and energy. A really very fine example. Lots of texture but the tannins are finer than the in the Chambolle.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Mar 2018)

‘The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Village has a complex bouquet with brambly red fruit, smoke and a slight peatiness that develops with time. The palate is sappy on the entry with fine but firm tannin. There is impressive fruit concentration here with a grippy and quite masculine finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Excellent.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2018)
