The 2015 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts was shaded by the Les Suchots in this occasion, more foursquare and less terroir-driven at the moment, though developing attractive woodland and sous-bois aromas with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe black cherry and boysenberry fruit, a fine bead of acidity and commendable precision on the finish. This has potential, but it may need more bottle age than the Les Suchots.
Like the Chaumes this is sufficiently reduced today to render the nose hard to assess. Otherwise the mouth feel is also quite seductive but in this case with somewhat more minerality in evidence on the plush and sophisticated flavors and lingering finish. This is not as mineral-driven as usual but it's awfully pretty.
