Burghound: 89-92 Points
This is aromatically similar to the Vosne villages but with the addition of more oak and menthol influence. The sleek and nicely detailed flavors possess a bit more volume and density before concluding in a more structured and youthfully austere finale. In contrast to the prior wines this is going to need a bit of patience and reward up to a decade's worth.

Vinous: 89-91 Points
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet of crushed strawberry and touches of orange pith nicely defined if not as vigorous as the 2016. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red cherry and raspberry preserve on the entry a slight tingle of licked limestone toward the second half and an easygoing but quite persistent finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.
