Always more primary and brooding from barrel than its communal counterparts, Tremblay's 2022 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes unwinds to reveal aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with notions of burning embers, spices and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated core of succulent fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it will reward patience.
Here too the nose is quite ripe yet nicely fresh with its combination of violet, cassis, exotic tea, orange peel and subtle spice nuances. The generously proportioned and velvety medium weight flavors also possess a caressing mouthfeel while displaying excellent length and power on the impressively persistent finish where the only reproach is a similar touch of warmth.
This cuvée is likely to be a one-off. It comes from the substantial new plot, originally thought to be all Vosne-Romanée Beaumonts but which on closer inspection turns out to be in part Echezeaux. This cuvée has both together. A fine pinky purple, not the deepest. Lifted small cherries. The palate offers significantly enhanced intensity, and indeed a fine tensile strength. At the moment a little wood, but in no way drying the fruit.
