Critics Ratings

'The 2008 Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts blossoms with endless layers of dark fruit. This is a totally sensual, enveloping wine graced with finesse, class and elegance. The Malconsorts is a pretty open 2008, but it will be even better in another few years' time. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, 94/100 (May 2011)

'The 2008 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru has a more backward, more fruit-driven bouquet when compared directly to the 2006 and 2007 with high-toned Morello cherry and raspberry confit scents, just a touch feistier than I expect. The palate is juicier and displays more body than the first two vintages. There is more presence and a little more grip, although still falling short of what I would expect from this vineyard. However, its initially understated opening, discretely builds in the mouth and leads to an edgy, ferrous finish with touches of brown spice and orange rind lingering on the aftertaste. This is a very competent Aux Malconsorts, though the following two vintages are clearly better. Tasted at Flint Wines Malconsort vertical. Drinking window 2018 - 2028.' - Neal Martin, Vinous.com, 92/100 (Mar 2019)
