Berthaut-Gerbet Vosne-Romanee 2022 (750ML)

93 DE / 91-93 JM / 90-92 VM

This delicious village-level Vosne is not yet racked and, at present, is a bit restrained; still, there is a lot of substance here, with an elegant currant fruit aroma and hints of smoke, spice and earth. The grapes come from three parcels: two in Aux Réas at the village's southern end on the border with Nuits and one in Au-dessus de la Rivière (with a total surface of 1.2 hectares). The grapes are entirely destemmed and gently fermented on native yeasts before ageing in cask (30% new). Ideally, age for a year or two before opening.--Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

From Aux Réas and Au Dessus de la Rivière, made apart, but which will be assembled. No whole bunches, 20% new wood. Pink purple, with a lively and very pure fruit, gracious right across the palate, excellent poise and balance. Very graceful. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Nov 2023.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Village was taken from barrel, with just a handful of stems added. The crisp bouquet is backward at rst yet tensile with a hint of lavender. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. It’s a neboned and focused Vosne with light grip and admirable transparency on the nish. Finesse. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media
