Vosne-Romanée Les Chalandins, Jacques Cacheux 2015

From this small, 7-hectare estate headed by son and 4th generation winemaker Patrice. Given this is Vosne, Patrice naturally - and biodynamically - works among some of the most celebrated (and expensive) vineyards in the world.

However, he also produces cuvées from the commune's lesser-known lieux-dits which, as such, offer remarkable value for money. Les Chalandins, Les Raviolles and Les Ormes all express not just the utmost in Cote d'Or terroir but encapsulate an enduring vintage - whilst also remaining affordable.

Les Chaladins is situated one plot over from the border of Clos Vougeot, and is a seldom-seen delight showig lifted red fruits on the nose, with delicate raspberry and cherry developing on the palate, accented with the faintest hint of blood orange. A warm 2015 growing season is savoured in layers of rich, darker fruit on a long and rounded finish
