Vosne Romanee Aux Reas Vieille Vigne Jean-Marie Fourrier 2017 (750ML)

88-90+ Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate: "While Fourrier eschews stems in his domaine wines from Gevrey, Morey and Chambolle, he employed some in the vinification of his 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas, a pretty wine that offers up aromas of dried flowers, cassis, dark chocolate, smoked duck and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, supple and succulent, the stems lending the tannins a powdery, gently chewy quality that contrasts with the rest of the range. It will be interesting to revisit from bottle." 4/19

89-91 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas offers attractive brambly red fruit on the nose with hints of pressed violet and iodine. The palate is sappy and quite intense on the entry, fine grip and depth considering this is a Village Cru with a touch of pencil lead towards the long finish. This comes recommended." 1/19
