  January 21, 2019 - Medium-to-heavy CO2 to shake out. A bit more challenging and spinal than the Vosne village wines this vintage, but this feels pretty classic Beaux Monts, which often seems to have some high-elevation austerity to me. This features the textbook Vosne spice aromas though in a tighter, closer-to-the-vest fashion than the village wines. On the palate it's remarkable right off the bat for its fine, slender, supremely silky material - so much more finessed than the rock-hard Grivots of a few years ago but it still has a sense of tautness and tension and a fruit profile on the bleeding edge of ripeness; in fact it takes some airtime before whatever's filling out the palate coalesces into anything fruity at all. It veers to the darker (still edgily ripe) blackberry side of the spectrum with time in the glass though never sweetens up into anything overtly ripe and and seizes up on the back end into a stony iron ore.
