1993 Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts

In Vosne-Romanee, Jadot produced two very fine premier crus, Les Suchots and Les Beaumonts. The Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux Monts exhibits splendidly ripe, explosive levels of concentrated black fruits, a softer, more supple texture, medium to full body, and a dry, authoritatively powerful finish. It needs 4-5 years of cellaring and should last for 15+ years. Jadot produced a high percentage of successful wines in 1993. There are also disappointments, particularly in the lower appellations which have turned out tough and tannic. There is no Jadot house style, save for rich, well-delineated, structured wines that stand the test of time. As a vintage, 1993 is less consistently excellent than 1990 or 1989. In 1988, all the grand crus were bottled without filtration. That vintage was followed in 1990 and subsequent vintages, with all the premier and grand crus bottled without fining or filtration.
