Tasting notes
Moderately saturated medium red. High-pitched perfume of red fruits, crushed stone and orange zest. Juicy and fresh, with captivating floral high notes and a peppery accent. Not a thick wine but very fine-grained. Slightly tart following Clavelier's 2015s but fun to drink.

(from south-facing vines planted on sand and silt soil at an altitude of 300 meters): The nose offers almost candied, liqueur-like red fruits. Sweet, thick and very ripe, with the strawberry liqueur flavor needing time to absorb the wine's rather strong acidity. In an awkward stage today, showing both tired and sour elements.
The 2014 Vosne Romanée les Haut de Beaux Monts has a perfumed, quite floral, rose petal-scented bouquet with fresh strawberry and Morello. The palate is fleshy on the entry with good extraction without losing balance. It is not a complex Vosne-Romanée, but it is smooth and harmonious with a silky finish. Enjoy over the next 5-6 years.
The 2014 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes has a tightly knit bouquet with blackcurrant pastilles, iris and dark cherries. The palate is medium-bodied with good structure; it is fleshy in the mouth with pure red cherry and raspberry coulis notes, confit-like, nicely balanced with a smooth and quite seductive finish that lingers in the mouth. What a beautiful Vosne-Romanee -- one of Bruno's best this year. Dec 2015, www.robertparker.com
