95-97 WA. "The 2010 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts Christiane is made from a tiny part of the Malconsorts vineyard that sits within La Tâche. The 2010 Christiane flows from the glass with a rich, exotic tapestry of dazzling fruit, black cherries, violets, licorice, spices and hard candy. White flowers add lift and sweet perfume on the breathtakingly beautiful finish. The integration of fruit and structure is virtually seamless. In other words, everything is in perfect balance. Readers who can find the Christiane should not hesitate. It is without question one of the wines of the vintage . . . . Etienne de Montille describes 2010 as similar to 2002 . . . . The harvest started on September 20 and ran through the 28th." Wine Advocate #199, Dec 2011 |
