The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet, not quite as precise as the Aux Brûlées at the moment, with more horsepower - a mixture of red and black fruit with a touch of sea spray. The medium-bodied palate has finely chiseled tannins. It is tensile and linear, veering more like the Aux Brûlées on the mineral-driven finish. Another superb Premier Cru from Grivot.
There is one of the more floral-inflected wines in the range with its aromas of lavender, rose petal and lilac and violet that add elegance to the black pinot fruit, sandalwood and jasmine tea scents. There is a lovely sense of tension to the finely detailed and overtly stony middleweight flavors that possess a highly sophisticated texture, all wrapped in a superbly long, balanced and driving finish. This is a stunner of a VRBM.
A fine bright mid ruby purple. Perfectly poised fruit on the nose, this is not massive but it has been beautifully put together, a very sensual raspberry fruit with cherry undertones, just enough acidity, fine tannins. Pure and persistent. “Charisma, pudeur, beauty”, says Etienne – “what we are aiming for in our work.” Drink from 2030-2040.
