Reviewed January 2008This is already beginning to close down yet vigorous swirling coaxes elegant, cool and pure dark berry fruit aromas and in keeping with the nose, the flavors also manage to remain fresh and gorgeously intense in the mouth with ultra fine detail and a driving minerality that point to flat out superb underlying material. I very much like the texture, energy and concentration and the overall impression is a wine of great class and, in the context of this appellation, an unusually powerful effort. *Outstanding*

A bit less deep in color than the Chaumes, perhaps simply a matter of the more recent sulfuring. Raspberry, exotic spices and a hint of blood orange on the nose; seems a bit more evolved than the Chaumes. Then suave and silky in the mouth, with lovely delicacy in the middle palate and a slowly mounting finish culminating in a whiplash of flavor. This seems almost ready to bottle. (ST) 92+

Wine Advocate
Lachaux’s 2005 Vosne-Romanee Les Reignots displays aromas of black raspberry preserves and sweet brown spices, with vanilla, smoke and resin notes from the (lone, new) barrel. Effusive inner-mouth florality and continuing concentrated fruit with nutmeg and cocoa powder on the palate lead to a sultry, gentle finish that may grip more after a few week’s rest in bottle. (DS)
