"The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Cuvée Duvault-Blochet 1er Cru is superb. We are in Vosne. Aromatically in a different register from the Corton that precedes it in this tasting, the Cuvée Duvault-Blochet is all sensuality, all class. Rose petal, mint, crushed flowers and dried herbs open first, leading to a chiseled core of fruit. Nervy and light on its feet, the 2020 is a real charmer. DRC's young-vines Vosne-Romanée Cuvée Duvault-Blochet 1er Cru, from parcels in Grands Echézeaux and La Tùche, is an absolute delight in 2020."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
2020 in Burgundy was warm, with an early harvest yielding concentrated yet fresh reds of vivid fruit and fine tannins; the whites retain surprising acidity and balance, forming an excellent, versatile vintage.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
