Michael Edwards | Yves Confuron shows a mastery of each demanding tannic terroir in the village, yet without ever losing sight of beautifully expressive fruit. Vaumuriens, a top village lieu-dit above Rugiens, is late-picked—a great advantage in this vintage— giving longer hang-time and superb ripeness. Masculine, gamey, black fruits. This seems to have some whole-bunch fermentation, giving a certain energy and fleetness. Exceptional. | 95
