Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts has a reserved bouquet, but one that is nicely detailed with raspberry, wild strawberry and mineral notes, then upon further investigation, overripe apricot and blueberry jam. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe juicy tannins, well-judged acidity and quite a tensile, verging on “tinny” finish. It feels backward and primal, but the long, spicy aftertaste indicates that this will age long term. This has the edge over the Les Petits Monts at the moment.

Pale ruby. Light nose. A bit edgy and much less opulent and less obviously fruity than later vintages. Even a bit astringent. Delicate touch but a bit lightweight. Hint of autumnal fruit and good pace. Vosne energy is there…
