Vosne-Romanée, Les Beaux Monts, 1er Cru, 2023
An Intense Vosne offering a vast array of fruit flavours - ripe, crushed currant, cranberry, red cherry and cherry stone. Gripping, crunchy, not as silky as the Brulées but more lively, salty and mineral. Deep layered and very fresh.
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.
