Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid-pale ruby. Ripe red and black fruits on the nose. Full-bodied, ripe-fruited palate with firm structure and ripe, forceful tannins. More a long-term prospect. (MH)

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru shows a little more reduction on the nose than the Aux Brûlées, though it does not disguise the concentration locked into this wine. Yet, as Mathilde Grivot said, it is a bit bashful and more difficult to taste at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins that impart a velvety texture. It has darker fruit than the Aux Brûlées, with a liberal sprinkling of cracked black pepper on the finish. This is a wine that deserves several years in a cellar. Preferably mine.
