Jasper Morris: 92-94 Points
When the vineyard was purchased in 1964 it was planted more with chardonnay and gamay which had to be pulled out. La Romanée was replanted properly including previously unplanted headlands in the later 1960s. Mid ruby purple. Lifted and charming not especially Gevrey in character tasting more like a Chambolle-Vosne mix. Lively raspberry in the middle with a lifted character from the notably stony soil. Not the most concentrated but very attractive high class floral style of fruit. A very striking elegant finish.
Burghound: 90-93 Points
Here the wood treatment includes wisps of menthol on the equally spicy blend of cool red currant and poached plum aromas. The finer and more mineral-driven middleweight flavors display focused power on the moderately austere, balanced and firm finale. This is notably more interesting than the Champonnet, at least as the two wines are today. (Drink starting 2032)
