Tasting Notes
A solid rich deep purple, powerful stuff. The backward bouquet still indicates depth. A rich deep mouthful with a refreshing tingle, though just 15% whole bunch vinification was used. Darker fruit behind, this tastes like a classic year and possibly to be preferred to a hot one. 92-95PTS, JASPER MORRIS, INSIDE BURGUNDY
Domaine Confuron-Gindre was established six generations ago in Vosne-Romanée and is located on Rue de La Tâche. A great sign! Though they don't own the monopoly of La Tâche (Domaine Romanée-Conti does), François Confuron-Gindre owns a myriad of ideally located vineyards in Vosne-Romanée and a smattering in Nuits-St-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. The Domaine accounts for 11 hectares, with five village wines, across the aforementioned villages; four Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanée; and the one Grand Cru from Échezeaux. A blessing, considering Vosne-Romanée is the Holy Grail for Pinot Noir lovers. The Domaine has been under the radar for quite some time, but since Edouard, Francois's son, is gradually taking over, the word is now out.
