Domaine de Montille Vosne Romanee 1er Cru 'Aux Malconsorts-Christaine' 2021
The 2021 Vosne-Romanee Les Malconsorts Cuvee Christiane 1er Cru has two-thirds whole cluster, a little more than the regular cuvee, malo not completed until August 2022. The bouquet is fresh on the entry with fine acidity; there's more detail and nuance here. The 2021 is beautifully balanced and quite granular towards the finish, full of tension with a long tail on the finish. Sublime. 93-95 Points. Neal Martin, Vinous.
"The darker colour of the two and funkily reductive having just finished malolactic and is yet to be racked. There is significant weight on the palate, more than the regular, all in one tone at the moment but the extra weight really fills the whole palate. Concentrated dark cherries and some plums. Fruit overwhelms the structure. Right at the back the tension from the mix of acidity and whole bunches. Very good length. In fact, the aftertaste is stunning. Drink from 2030-2040. (Oct 2022)" 93-96 Points. Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.
