Edouard Confuron - Vosne-Romanée ‘Hautes-Maizieres’ 2022

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.

4.5 barrels, one third new wood and one third whole bunch. A fine mid purple, with lots of energy on the nose, a classical central Vosne. A beautiful density of dark cherry with raspberry in the background, more structure and fine length. Very well done. Drink from 2028-2034. 93 pts, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Pinot Noir.
