Premier Cru · Côte de Nuits
Aux Malconsorts
Vosne-Romanée · red · 5.9
Runs along La Tâche's southern boundary on the same band of mid-slope.
Under the vines
The continuation of the grand cru band, on limestone with a shallow clay fraction.
In the glass
Spiced and structured, recognisably Vosne, and long by any measure.
Why it sits here
The third of the trio, with Clos Saint-Jacques and Les Amoureuses, that every buyer learns as an exception.
Commonly misread
That a boundary implies a break in the ground. Malconsorts and La Tâche share a slope and a soil.
