Critical Acclaim

91 Wine Advocate

The 2012 Vosne-Romanee Les Hautes Maizieres has a gorgeous nose that seems to flow more than the Les Hauts de Beaux Monts or the La Combe Brulee, laden with sumptuous redcurrant, fresh strawberry and pomegranate scents. The palate is clean and fresh on the entry with generous succulent red berry fruit, fine weight in the mouth with a cohesive, confident finish that rounds everything off nicely. This is delicious.
