|Andreas Larrson, best sommelier of the world 2007, presents the 2006 vintage of Vosne Romanée Premier Cru « Les Malconsorts », from Domaine du Clos Frantin (Part 3)

We have just received the tasting notes from Andreas Larrson, Best Sommelier of the World 2007 who has conducted for our three most prestigious wines what he calls “evolutive tasting”. His idea is to taste the same wine at four different moments to see how it changes with time. We sent him our 3 most prestigious Burgundy wines, namely :

VOSNE ROMANEE PREMIER CRU « LES MALCONSORTS » 2006, Domaine du Clos Frantin

First tasting: 13/08/2008

Nice fruit and minerality on the nose, slightly more oak evident this time, the palate appears more closed this time, I would still suggest to keep this for a little longer.

Second tasting: 20/02/2009

Much more complexity this time, wild berries minerals, the fruit is on the darker side, a hint of oak in the background, really structured with a long finish, drinks rather well but it has a big potential for the future, I look forward to the next tasting.

Third tasting: 28/08/2009

Elegant nose that displays wild fruit, raspberry and mineral notes, a touch of oak in the background, the palate is still young and austere, a slight hint of oak and vanilla, good length and potential, should need some time, especially for the palate to smoothen.

Fourth tasting: 08/02/2010

Nice nose with an approaching complexity, spicy and red fruity palate, the palate is round, complex and expressive and leaves nothing to desire, well balanced with a good freshness and length, very drinkable now but some more time would add more complexity.
