Vosne Romanee, Les Beaux Monts, 1er Cru, 2009

Exquisitely balanced and elegant, less voluptuous and immediate than either Brulées or Reignots but so ultra-refined as well as showing great dynamism and focus; very, very long and refreshing flavours of silky ripe red berry fruits, touches of sloe, Alpine strawberry and juicy red cherry, jaw-droppingly beautiful.
