Notes:

This vaunted 1er cru sits on a vein of limestone and marl in southern Vosne- Romanée.  Chezeaux produces a wine that marries the exotic spice and succulent fruit of Vosne-Romanée with the mineral power of Nuits-Saint-Georges in hugely appealing fashion. This wine is consistently one of my  favorites from the domaine. Chezeaux owns about four-tenths of a hectare in Chaumes, superbly situated just beneath La Tache and Aux Malconsorts. We have the rare privilege to access a tiny allocation of this wine annually. This “Les Chaumes” is wonderfully cool and introspective. With time in the glass, plums, black cherries, mint, violets and spices emerge, adding a wonderful sense of texture and depth. Elements of firmness underpin the fruit, suggesting the wine has a very bright future. Sweet red flowers, mint and spices add complexity on the finish. We were awestruck by its energy and tension.
