Vosne Romanee, Les Beaux Monts, 1er Cru, 2023
A beauty. Taut, fine-tuned and precise yet generous too, explosive, fragrant characteristics of griotte cherries, flowers, cherry stone and damsons, really long, refined, very energetic but totally seamless and in perfect harmony.
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.
