80% whole bunch vinification a question of tank size. Additional intensity to the purple colour and just that little bit more luxurious on the nose. It just grows and grows then the palate is quite a lot richer even with chocolate notes plus some darker pepper. Yet the Cuvée Christiane is brilliantly nuanced waves of flavour less delicacy at this stage than the regular Malconsorts but ultimately a sublime texture. Magical persistence. By Jasper Morris
The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconso
This superb wine boasts forward accessible plum and blackberry fruit with smoke leather and spice accents. Given the abundant tannic grip and density here the texture is silky and supple but lacks nothing in structure or power. There is enough acidity to balance everything and lead to an impressively long finish. The grapes come from the half-hectare plot bordering La Tâche fermented on native yeasts primarily as whole clusters. This wine should open five to 10 years after release and drink well for at least 20 years afterwards. (Drink between 2035 - 2075) By Charles Curtis MW
bhThe expressive nose is aromatically similar to the regular cuvée if perhaps even a bit more floral. The sleek powerful and concentrated larger-scaled flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel while exhibiting outstanding persistence on the overtly austere compact and altogether serious finish. This is a 'wow' wine. (Drink starting 2034) By Allen Meadows Api 2024 Issue #94 4/10/2024
