Vosne Romanée En Orveaux Premier Cru 2022
The 2022 Vosne Romanée En Orveaux Premier Cru from Philippe Charlopin exemplifies the refined elegance of this high-altitude premier cru while showcasing its distinctive character.
The nose is remarkably sophisticated, offering pure red fruits and the exotic spice notes characteristic of Vosne Romanée, enhanced by delicate floral elements and a pronounced mineral tension that speaks to the site's elevated position near the forest line. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural precision of this cooler, higher-altitude site.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive finesse while maintaining depth. The texture is particularly refined - silky and precise, with ultra-fine tannins providing elegant support. The higher altitude of En Orveaux contributes a distinctive mineral freshness and energy, while the warmth of 2022 brings beautiful ripeness without compromising elegance. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of pure fruit, exotic spice, and mineral notes that continue to unfold.
This wine brilliantly captures both the ethereal nature of En Orveaux and Charlopin's ability to translate this exceptional terroir into wine of equal distinction.
