Frederic Magnien, Champs-Perdrix, Champs-Perdrix, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

Ripe elegant oaky nose with bright red fruits. Sleek, precise, stylish, with lovely red fruits. This has poise and charm and refinement, and the fruit is balanced by fine acidity. There’s don’t seem to be overt tannins, so perhaps it lacks some structure but the fruit quality is admirable. Good length.

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

medium deep, rim slightly browning;
slight leafiness, with fruit;
gentle fruit, softening, medium body, acidity and tannin slightly over-power the fruit.

Tasting: Vosne-Romanee 2010

Lighter in colour than some with a gentle perfume. medium-bodied, attractive fruit, a tannin or two at the back along with fresh acidity. The bone structure is quite prominent but that’s fair enough in a top of the hillside vineyard. Certainly a long finish.
