2015 Vosne Romanee Beaumonts

Tasting notes
Despite some reduction on the nose, the 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, which included whole bunch fruit, has a very well-defined, floral bouquet that expresses its terroir with style. This has great intensity while upholding superb delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a slight savory element here that becomes more pronounced towards the finish. It leaves a seductive, almost gamey/dried blood aftertaste. This has good potential once in bottle - a Les Beaux Monts with plenty of character.

The first grapes to be picked. Vines planted in 1927. Very hedonistic. Rich and velvety. As though there were even a drop of whisky in this it’s so big and rich! I’m slightly missing the energy of a typical Beaux Monts. Just a little sour on the end. Chewy finish. (JR)
Bright dark red. More sauvage and less floral on the nose and palate than the Feusselottes, with musky dark berry notes conveying a chocolately ripeness. Densely packed and very concentrated, boasting excellent intensity and energy. Not quite as rectilinear as the Feusselottes but still a seriously structured premier cru with a firm tannic backbone and considerable aging potential. Really echoes and lingers on the very long finish.
