Tasting notes
Cécile Tremblay's 2011 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beamonts is aging very gracefully, wafting from the glass with a youthful bouquet of red-black cherries, smoked duck and a creamy framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, ample and expansive, with velvety tannins and succulent acids, and while it is quite structurally open-knit, I would anticipate that it will continue to develop for over a decade.

Total finesse defines the 2011 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaumonts. Silky tannins provide the backdrop as layers of deeply spiced, balsamic-inflected fruit blossom in the glass. The ripeness of the vintage is quite evident, but at the same time, there is more than enough freshness to balance things out. The round, inviting finish makes the Beaumonts nearly impossible to resist.
The first grapes to be picked. 90-year-old vines. Faces full south. Pretty luxurious and silk pyjamaed. Savoury. The ripeness overlays the energy of Vosne. Chewy finish. Still a bit dry on the end. (JR)
