2013 Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts

Tasting notes
The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Beaux Monts has great clarity on the nose, here veering more toward red fruit than the les Brulées, with subtle wet limestone and granitic scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied, very “gourmand” in the mouth, the kind of wine you don’t know whether to drink or eat (not in terms of texture but the flavors). There is a lovely meaty note that surfaces on the long finish. Tres bon vin!

Refined and finely etched. More black fruits and density. Less lift than Brûlées. Just a bit more sinewy. Amazing persistence. Resonance is a good word for the impression they leave on the palate. (JR)
