There was of course the frost, but the flowering didn't pass especially well as there was a lot of shatter. In the end, we were off about 35%, which is to say about 30 hl\/ha. We picked from the 23rd of September and brought in ripe fruit despite the coolness of the growing season. Potential alcohols were in the 12.5 to 13% range and thus there was no need to chaptalize. I did concentrate the Vosne villages but not the rest of the range. As to the wines, they're what I would call classically styled and definitely not at all like the trio of 2018 to 2020.\" I found much to like in both the 2021 and 2020 vintages, and these are wines to check out as they typically sell for reasonable prices, at least in the context of the current marked for Vosne grand crus. I would repeat my comment from last year that Vincent decided to radically reduce the oak influence in his wines and it is definitely noticeable and, in my view, a welcome change. The 2020s, reviewed below, were bottled in February 2022.

The supple, delicious and energetic medium-bodied flavors possess excellent depth on the balanced, focused and sneaky long though very firm finale. This is a wine of contrasts as the velvety mid-palate doesn't prepare you for the dense tannic spine shaping the finish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Southern Glazers","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":41594908311610,"sku":"Cart 2 A","price":324.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/4401\/3626\/files\/grosfrere.webp?v=1786722949","url":"https:\/\/ckcollectorwine.com\/products\/domaine-gros-frere-souer-echezeaux-pinot-noir-burgundy-fr-cote-de-nuits-2020","provider":"Casey Key Collector Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
