from a site just above la tâche, the 2021 vosne-romanée les champs perdrix exhibits deep aromas of red berries, violets and blood orange. medium-bodied, fleshy and melting, it's rich but vibrant, with a soft, giving profile. i'd heard murmurings of a renaissance at domaine bruno clair for some time, so this year i made a point of visiting. evolution has indeed been underway: farming is now very close to organic across the 24-hectare estate; yields are being limited more strictly in the younger parcels; cover crops are the order of the day, with the frequency of cultivation reduced; trees are being incorporated within all new plantings; and now, in the winery, whole clusters are being systematically retained in significant percentages, and the frequency of punching down reduced. what are the results? the pure-fruited style of the domaine, which doesn't push ripeness or percentages of new oak, remains very much intact, but even in 2021, more intensity of flavor and more expressive fruit already appears to be apparent. this was a very pretty set of wines, and i look forward to following vintages to come.
