Domaine de La Romanée-Conti Cuvée Duvault-Blochet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 2020

Tasting Notes

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 Tâche, is an absolute delight in 2020. Drinking Window: 2028-2045.
