Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cuvée Duvault-Blochet is another boisterous, demonstrative wine, bursting with aromas of sweet berries, orange zest and cedary new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, sweet and supple palate, its enveloping core of soft, sun-kissed fruit framed by polished, powdery tannins. Produced from younger vines in the domaine's grands crus, this cuvée is reserved for restaurants, and the 2022 should offer especially approachable drinking at table.
About the Producer
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or DRC is one of the most prestigious wine estates in the world with 25.5 hectares mostly in Vosne-Romanée on the route des Grands Crus in the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits of the Burgundy vineyards (named after the 1.8 hectare Clos de la Romanée-Conti, one of the most prestigious mythical grands crus in the world). The civil company of the same name was founded in 1942 by Edmond Gaudin de Villaine. It is now co-managed for their heir family by the winegrowers Aubert de Villaine and Perrine Fenal.
