Domaine Bruno Clavelier Vosne-Romanée Les Hautes Maizières VV 2014

“from clay-based soil): Aromas of red berries and spices accented by a garrigue quality. Intense flavors of strawberry, raspberry, spices and wild herbs are framed by brisk, well-integrated acidity. In a more masculine style than the Combe Brûlée, with rather strong tannins currently cutting off the finish. The wine's restrained sweetness is nicely buffered by its spine of acidity. This well-structured village wine shows excellent potential." (Vinous)

"The 2014 Vosne Romanée Hautes Mazières has a pretty, lightly spiced bouquet that is the most complex of Clavelier's village crus this year. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and tensile, lively from the start with fine precision all the way through to the finish. This is well worth looking out for." (RP)

Bruno Clavelier makes some of the very finest Bourgognes. His wines are extremely varietal and full of finesse, showing the nuance differences between the various terroirs in a quasi-inimitable way. The wines do require several years of ageing, but your patience will be particularly rewarded.
Les Hautes Maizières lies just below premier cru Les Suchots and has a more clay-loving soil, giving a more muscular, creamier wine.
