The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Les Mazières will be the last release since the 45-year-old vines were pulled up following the harvest, since they were too degenerated. Matured in 50% new oak, it offers crisp red cherry and cranberry scents on the nose, neatly defined and focused with a hint of wet limestone in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit on the entry, a pleasing saline note running from start to finish with a gentle grip. This is a very commendable valedictory wineHK$17,545.00 -

Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas was a touch reduced and therefore less giving than the Les Chalandins. The stems (40% here) are neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a salty entry, very marine influenced, nicely balanced with bright blueberry and strawberry fruit on the sorbet-fresh finish. Plenty of energy - this should age with style.HK$6,215.00 -

The 2019 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru comes from a single block of a half-hectare parcel of vines planted in the 1950s and young vines planted in 2009. It has a pleasant bouquet with apple blossom and honeysuckle aromas emerging from the glass. I would like to see more terroir expression here. The palate is nicely balanced, the spicy entry (lemongrass and ginger) leading to a weighty, concentrated, powerful finish that lacquers the mouth. Give this three or four years once in bottle.

(Jobard lost 40% of the crop here as both his lowest and highest vines were affected by frost; he described this as the worst frost year in this cru since 1981): Ripe yellow fruits and spices on the nose; a bit less floral than the Blagny. Sappier than the Blagny, showing good citrussy energy and a savory quality. Nicely concentrated but less refined and elegant than the Blagny. Finishes a tad spiky and phenolic, in need of time to find its ultimate harmony.HK$6,330.00 -
