2021 Jerome Chezeaux Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes

Les Chaumes lies at the southern edge of Vosne-Romanee, immediately below the hallowed premier crus Aux Malconsorts and La Tache on a vein of limestone and marl. Chezeaux owns four-tenths of a hectare of 35-year-old vines here, producing a wine that marries the exotic spice and succulent fruit of Vosne-Romanee with the mineral force of Nuits-Saint-Georges in ravishing fashion.

The Chezeaux domaine was built on the foundations of an estate owned since 1930 by Julien Missery. Bernard Chezeaux acceded to the ownership of the domaine in 1971 selling most of the wines produced there to negociants during his reign. On his untimely death in 1993, his son, Jérome, took over the direction of the domaine.
