Edouard Confuron - Vosne-Romanée ‘Hautes-Maizieres’ 2023

The Hautes-Maizieres is a fine mid purple, with lots of energy on the nose, a classical central Vosne.

Edouard Confuron hails from the 6 generation family Domaine, Confuron-Gindre, located on Rue de La Tâche. While working with his father, François Confuron-Gindre, he has slowly – and successfully, created his own distinct style of wines now presented through his own micro-domaine. The 2021 vintage is the first formal representation of Edouard's personal range of wines. The vines for this cuvee sit just below “Les Suchots” and Grand Cru “Echezeaux”, and right beside Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot, with the average age of vines 60 years.

This isn’t quite as floral but it’s even spicier and a bit more complex as well on the cool and airy aromas that derive mostly from the red side of the fruit spectrum. As one would reasonably expect, there is more volume and more minerality to the larger-bodied flavours that possess acceptable density before terminating in a compact, firm and serious finale. This is also a very good Vosne villages. 90-92 points - Allen Meadows, Burghound. 100% Pinot Noir.
