Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes Lamarche 2016 (750ML)

90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes captures the florality of the appellation with bunches of rose petals, a hint of peony that complements the red berry fruit (Morello and raspberry preserve). The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly crunchy tannin. I love the purity here, the energy contained within, precise and focused with a little more spiciness on the finish compared to the village cru. As it aerates I noticed darker fruit emerging plus a slight chalkiness to the tannin. Excellent-this may actually surpass the 2015 Chaumes." 12/17

91 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "The colour is the same as the village wine, the flavour profile is the same, but the density on the palate is a notch more significant and there is fresher acidity. Good persistence. Quite an elegant version of Chaumes."
