"A pretty pinkish purple. The fruit is discreet, cherry, roses, peonies, with a suggestion of some density. Then the white pepper behind, with a fine long finish. I love the way the pepper and the red fruit fragrance is intertwined. Drink from 2026-2031." Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
"The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Cuvée Précolombière is beautiful, bursting with aromas of raspberries, orange zest, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and perfumed, it's melting and elegant, with a suave, enveloping profile and a long, aromatic finish." Wine Advocate
