Domaine Cathiard-Molinier Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1979
Nice way to start the weekend, a Domaine Cathiard-Molinier Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1979. This wine is what drinking aged red Burgundy is all about. The nose was fresh, clean, absolutely pure blackcurrant juice. If you couldn’t see the wine, you’d swear that this was crème de cassis and water, by the nose alone. The palate was much more vinous: refreshing acid, an inner glow of bright, sweet fruit. Wow. Totally resolved, fruit without tannin. Really special. This vintage has a poor reputation because it hailed at vintage and Vosne was underwater but obviously this wine rose above.
I believe that this came from the part of Malconsorts that de Montille bought, next to La Tâche. I will confirm.
