2024 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Malconsorts, Domaine du Clos Frantin

The large jewel in a fairly stacked crown that has no shortage of other treasures. This definitely comes from the same house, but it’s cut from a more luxurious cloth. It has more depth and structure, although it is rather more expressive and even accessible than it sometimes can be at the same stage. It retains an impressive linearity, but there is also some real substance beneath the surface, as one would expect from one of Burgundy’s most structured vineyards. This will take some time to unfurl completely, but it’s giving more of a teasing glimpse of where it’s heading than it usually does. A very promising tease. Drink from 2033
