2019 Vosne Romanee Les Malconsorts

The Albert Bichot wines continue to improve under Alain Serveau’s stewardship. They are the largest owners of Malconsorts, with 1.76 hectares of this excellent Premier Cru (neighbouring La Tâche), which was a stand-out in our tasting of the 2019s. There’s something almost imperial about the wine – both sophisticated and opulent. The nose is full of a richness of red cherries, complemented by a touch of plum. The palate is intense and tight, the tannins fine and supple. Laden with ripe, bright red berry fruit and juicy acidity, it’s a gorgeous wine in 2019.
