(1x150cl) 1996The Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Cros Parantoux 1996 is a lustrous gem from Burgundy's illustrious 'Golden Slope'. Created by legendary winemaker, the late Henri Jayer, this vintage is epitomised by its sumptuous complexity. Noteworthy for its exceptionally limited production, this Pinot Noir radiates a mix of raspberry and blackcurrant, playfully balanced by hints of earthy spice and smoky nuances.
Aged meticulously in well-seasoned oak casks, this exquisite wine accentuates the profundity of the longing, velvety finish. An ambitious cultivator, Jayer was renowned for his rigorous grape selection, minimal intervention philosophy, and a distinctive, non-filtering process. He meticulously tended to a mere 1.41 hectares of mid-slope vineyards at Cros Parantoux, in the esteemed commune of Vosne-Romanee.
A Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Cros Parantoux 1996 is synonymous with the absolute zenith of French viniculture and a beacon of Jayer's remarkable viticultural legacy.

Medium red. Pungent perfume of blood orange, licorice and herbs, lifted by a floral topnote. Tactile but backward, with terrific lift and perfume to the raspberry and crushed fruit flavors. The terrific rising finish displays great energy and a wonderfully light touch. Really stains the palate. With aeration, a deeper smoky, earthy tang and more adamant minerality emerged. A beauty, but lay it down for at least seven or eight years.HK$34,070.00 -

(13.8% alcohol with a bit of chaptalization, according to winemaker Charles Van Canneyt): Deep, full red. Very recent but pure nose eventually reveals scents of musky wild red fruits and smoky, stony minerality; a real essence of Burgundy. Deep and thick on the palate; dense with extract and utterly smooth too but with explosive energy suggesting that this wine will repay long aging. Finishes with outstanding rising smoky persistence and powerful stony minerality. These 2010s, bottled in February of 2012, display extraordinary digestibility.HK$88,380.00 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-96)
(vinified with some whole clusters, but a lower percentage than was used to make the RSV and Clos Vougeot): Medium red, a bit less saturated than the RSV. Reticent but rather wild aromas of red berries, smoky underbrush and caraway seed. Sweet and smooth in the mouth; larger than the RSV but less demonstrative and complex today in spite of possessing very good energy. Most impressive today on the rising, palate-staining finish, which features terrific grip and serious spine for two or three decades of aging. Fairly powerful for a wine from this producer, particularly given the essentially gentle style of the year.HK$51,350.00 -

The Richebourg is just a notch above the same domaine's Romanée-St-Vivant in 2012, as it is at several other domaines, but it's a close run thing. This is tighter, more focused and limestone fresh, with a hint of "good" reduction, considerable restraint, sweet raspberry and red cherry fruit and pithy focus and length. Understated.HK$58,030.00 -
Vinous (93+)
Deep red. More medicinal and reticent on the nose than the Romanée Saint-Vivant, offering scents of black cherry, menthol and licorice. Tactile and dense but very closed and unforthcoming. Less sweet and more savory than the RVS, showing less early sex appeal but more power. This struck me as much more affected by the bottling last March than the RSV.HK$8,240.00 -

This 0.29ha parcel was planted (or replanted) in two stages - the 1930s and 1978 - so it has a high average age but plenty of concentration and complexity. It's one of my red wines of the vintage in 2017, with a heavenly perfume, lovely wild strawberry and summer orchard scents, fine-grained tannins, some sweet spices and refreshing minerality. Stunning.HK$10,500.00 -

The 2018 Richebourg Grand Cru has a very intense, well-defined bouquet of blackberry and cassis aromas, hints of eucalyptus coming through with time; this is absolutely irresistible. The palate is very well balanced with fine delineation and poise and shows a subtle marine influence. Superb.HK$24,585.00 -

(5-Star Wine) A noble purple in colour. A fresh suave even plump fruit on the nose, pure in its raspberry profile. Three barrels, two from Cavin who Charles likes (he uses five cooper in all). Not just brilliantly seductive, this digs much deeper yet still finishes on the very fresh red fruit style of the vintage. Thoroughly exciting. Drink from 2030-2040.HK$24,795.00 -

A very densely fruited nose is composed mostly from the black side of the fruit spectrum along with notes of menthol, spice and Asian tea nuances. There is excellent concentration to the intense and attractively well-detailed middle weight flavors that possess a suave and highly seductive mouth feel before terminating in a mouth coating, complex and hugely long finish. This is an unusually powerful RSV that is less elegant than usual yet one that is still very much on the way up, indeed I would suggest allowing it at least another 5 to 7 years of celar time as it's very much still a baby.HK$66,995.00 -

(25% vendange entier): Good bright, full red. Complex, inviting nose combines raspberry, rose petal and orange zest. Intensely flavored and sharply delineated, showing excellent lift and verve to its red fruit and soil flavors. An element of medicinal red cherry and emerging minerality suggest that this silky, deep wine will enjoy a graceful evolution in bottle. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins and lovely rising perfume. With time in the glass, this wine demonstrated its firm spine more clearly.HK$42,730.00 -
(3x75cl) 2012Tim Atkin MW (97)
One parcel of very old vines supplies the grapes for this wine. Charles van Cannety added back 40% of the stems after he forgot to do whole bunch fermentation and it's brought a peppery lift to the wine. Spicy, sappy and complex, it shows the classic plumpness and fruit forwardness of Romanée-St-Vivant and very polished tannins.HK$25,065.00 -

I knew that the 2014 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru would be great when I tasted it from barrel last year...but not this great. It has a wonderful, tensile bouquet that just seems to sparkle. The fruit is so crystalline and laden with energy and mineralité that you almost have to sit down! The palate is surfeit with energy, the fruit perhaps a little darker than in barrel with white pepper, spices towards the almost Richebourg-like finish. Tasting them side-by-side, I would err for this over the Richebourg - it is a magnificent wine from Charles van Canneyt.HK$24,500.00 -

This 1920 parcel is situated in the northern part of the Romanée-St-Vivant grand cru, very close to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's holdings - and it's often a match for that wine. It's detailed, lacy and refreshing, with adroitly integrated 50% new wood and layers of red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruit. It has focussed acidity and palate-caressing tannins. Effortlessly complex.HK$25,100.00 -
(4x75cl) 1986```htmlHudelot-Noellat Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru les Beaumonts 1986 is a quintessential expression of Burgundy's esteemed terroir. Crafted by the esteemed Hudelot-Noellat family, this Premier Cru originates from the venerable Les Beaumonts vineyard in Vosne-Romanée. The 1986 vintage benefited from optimal climatic conditions, allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve exceptional ripeness and complexity. Hand-harvested and meticulously vinified, the wine underwent traditional fermentation in oak barrels, imparting subtle nuances of spice and earth beneath its elegant fruit profile. Aging gracefully over the decades, this bottle exhibits refined tannins, layers of red berry aromatics, and a harmonious balance of acidity and depth. A testament to the producer's dedication to quality and the distinctive character of the Les Beaumonts terroir, Hudelot-Noellat Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru les Beaumonts 1986 promises a memorable experience for the discerning connoisseur.

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru has a slightly meaty/feral bouquet, just a hint of gaminess that might become more conspicuous with bottle age. Otherwise I find this well defined and with flattering red cherry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is a fine bead of acidity here, a pleasant fleshy mouthfeel towards the finish and a residual salinity that beckons you back for the next sip. This represents another impressive wine from Charles Van Canneyt. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.HK$2,820.00 -

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaumonts 1er Cru has a fresh raspberry and wild strawberry bouquet, accompanied by touches of leather and freshly tilled earth.

The Beaumonts from Hudelot-Noellat has ripened well despite the vintage and the location, showing a lovely plummy fruit with rose petal notes on the nose and a supple texture with silky tannins that are firm but not astringent and impressive length. The parcel that Charles van Canneyt farms is 0.30 hectares at the top of the slope in very thin soils, but he has worked wonders this year.HK$3,350.00 -

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Malconsorts was the latest to finish its malolactic in mid-September. The nose has plenty of energy: red berry fruit, orange sorbet, wet limestone and fresh prune scents. The palate is primal with a dense body of red fruit. There is better weight here than the Suchots with more persistence on the peacock’s tail finish. Is this the Malconsorts of the vintage?HK$10,850.00 -
(1x150cl) 2016Wine Advocate (94-96)
The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts has a disarmingly beautiful nose with blackcurrant, briary and cold stone scents that offer great typicité. Likewise, the palate has a structure typical of this premier cru, denser and more mineral-driven than the Suchots, perhaps at the same time more aloof. But that is what you want from a Malconsorts and there is great precision on the long and tender finish. There is great potential here.HK$8,280.00 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru is limited to two-and-a-half barrels this year, making it the domaine’s smallest cuvée, and only bottled in magnum. It has an earthy, loamy nose, almost peat-like, very well defined, with ample black fruit. The palate has sinew on the entry and great depth and assertiveness. Very complex and intellectual with that limestone terroir defining the very persistent finish. This is a wonderful Malconsorts for those who worship "proper" Burgundy.HK$10,615.00 -
Vinous (96-98)
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a pixelated bouquet that unfolds beautifully in the glass, a femme fatale of pure red and blue fruit with a hint of violet. The palate is very taut on the entry, perfectly judged acidity, silky smooth with impressive volume allied with finesse on the finish. Entrancing.HK$9,310.00
In a region with some of the world’s most expensive and sought after Pinot Noir, the appellation of Vosne-Romanee is at the very top of this list, consistently outshining even its most impressive neighbours. Much has been waxed poetic about these wines, which are praised for their intensity, power, finesse, richness, and overall elegance. There are eight Grand Cru vineyards here including Richebourg, Romanee-Saint-Vivant, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, as well as the monopoles La Grande Rue (Domaine Lamarche), La Romanee (Comte Liger-Belair), and Romanee-Conti and La Tache (both monopoles of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.)
