Tasted out of barrel, Méo's Aux Brûlées was a bit reserved on the nose. The texture on the palate was firmly tannic, with a substantial, even massive, amount of extract, but the fruit seemed relatively faint at this point, with a suggestion of black plums and a bit of smoke. There was surprising weight and persistence on the palate but little generosity. With time this should open nicely, but age it for at least five years before opening. (CC)
The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru, matured in 80% new oak, has a floral bouquet with pressed violets merging with raspberry and wild strawberry scents. There is a lovely definition here, and it gains intensity in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is silky on the entry, cohesive and poised, building with a sense of self-confidence towards the finish. Again, the oak is assiduously applied here, allowing the terroir to speak. Classy. (NM)
Note: from a .70 ha parcel, most of which are 80+ year old vines. An overtly floral-suffused and highly perfumed nose reflects notes of spice, red and dark cherry and exotic jasmine tea. There is better refinement and more minerality as well to the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that display a taut muscularity on the moderately austere, serious, compact and very much built-to-age finale. Excellent. *Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*
