Description

Celebrate the art of viticulture with Benoit Chevallier Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 2019, an exquisite premier cru wine from the heart of Burgundy. Born in Vosne-Romanee, renowned for its reputation of sublime Pinot Noir, this vintage is a testament to the region’s prowess. Meticulous craftsmanship by vintner Benoit Chevallier, a perfectionist in his field, imparts a splendid purple-red hue and delightful aroma.

Masterfully matured in100% French oak to balance its rich aroma, the Benoit Chevallier Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 2019 showcases complex notes of dark fruits, liquorice, and nuanced spices. This vintage is opulent and retains a remarkable freshness and vibrancy that transcends its robust tannic structure. Let this fine Pinot Noir, a standout in the world of wine, transport you to the rolling vineyards of Vosne-Romanee with each elegant sip.

Domaine Benoît Chevallier is a new estate in the village of Vosne Romanée, defying the trend of high vineyard prices in the appellation. Despite the challenges, they gained recognition by winning the Trophée des Jeunes Talents award in their first vintage. Benoît, formerly working in IT, returned to his hometown and revived the family winery after leasing the vineyard for ten years. The vineyards (4ha), including premier cru plots (Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Damodes, and Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots), were transitioned to organic farming practices during the lease period. Benoît focuses on sustainable vineyard management, employing techniques such as Guyot Poussard pruning, higher leaf canopy to optimize photosynthesis and provide enhanced protection for the fruit and using organic compost and treatments.

Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 93

Aromas of plums, wild berries, warm spices, orange rind and raw cocoa introduce Chevallier’s debut 2019 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, a medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless wine with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids, supple tannins and a long, perfumed finish. This is very successful indeed for a first release. [William Kelley, 21/01/2022]
