Vosne-Romanée, Les Beaux Monts, 1er Cru, 2023
This has a mineral tang to it, a sleek and stony core which holds complex sweet and savoury fruit in suspension. Poised, balanced and very harmonious - a wine of beautiful équilibre and confidence. Gorgeous Pinot Noir. One of the cooler, stonier vineyards of Vosne producing fine, silky, mineral wines.
critic reviews
The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru shows a little more reduction on the nose than the Aux Brûlées, though it does not disguise the concentration locked into this wine. Yet, as Mathilde Grivot said, it is a bit bashful and more difficult to taste at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins that impart a velvety texture. It has darker fruit than the Aux Brûlées, with a liberal sprinkling of cracked black pepper on the finish. This is a wine that deserves several years in a cellar. Preferably mine.
