Five years since last tasting one of these; apparently the treatments and style of wine here have changed with less late, late, late harvesting. Rather than raw ripe fruit, this was beginning to show some classy secondary development. 91+

This bottle, while not as focused as some of the others, opened up to show some real class and purity; dried rose petal, fresh minerals, cinnamon, clove and a pop of potpourri. Silky and elegant in the mouth with good acidity and very fine-grain tannin. Super elegant.

Intensely perfumed, all red fruit; silky textured offset with pungent minerality + balance and class. At worst his wines seem to be "made" rather than grown.

Opened one hour in advance. Quite alcoholic and tight. It took two more hours to become more approachable. You can feel the oak influence but still a well-made Burgundy with a rich palate and punching backbone. It's not an elegant Beaumont at this moment. May be give it 2 or 3 years to gain harmony.

Well defined nose of white pepper, clove, cinnamon, soy sauce and sesame seed come through with very floral, pure fruits of crushed violets, cool red and black cherry fruits. Ends with a bit of inner mouth perfume, very silky tannin. As this opens up, it gains dimension with even more minerality. Very classy and fine.

(Perrot-Minot Christophe Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts) Not as deeply coloured as the villages wine. Perhaps a hint of reduction on the nose. Good but not exceptional width, but the real interest lies in the mid-plate where there is dimension and complexity. Decent finish.
