Roche de Bellene Vieilles Vignes Vosne-Romanée 2019

This bold, firmly structured Pinot Noir is sourced from vines averaging over 50 years in age. Fiery in tannins and grounded by a smoky, earthen minerality, the concentrated, tightly wound wine offers a deep core of preserved Damson plum and morello-cherry flavors. Hold till 2025 at least. The wine should improve through 2035 and hold much further. Cellar Selection. Score – 95. (Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast, March 1, 2022)
