Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94
The 2014 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts has a tightly wound bouquet with notes of blackberry, briary and redcurrant jus interwoven with superb mineralite. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry: candied orange peel infusing the vivid red berry fruit with a gentle, but insistent grip on the finish. Whilst not at the level of the 2015, this is an excellent Les Beaux Monts with long ageing potential. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]
Vinous 92+
Dark red with ruby tones. Alluring aromas of black cherry, pungent minerals and crushed stone display a medicinal reserve. Big, rich and classic, conveying superb depth to its fresh fruit and saline mineral flavors. Shows a chocolatey ripeness but this vin de terroir is as much about soil as fruit. Wonderfully pure, precise wine with broad, dusty tannins and terrific length. Lay this one down and forget about it for at least six or seven years. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2017]

Pricing per three bottles!!! A little low key compared with some. A cask-sample thing? Seems an odd anomaly. [11/01/2016]
