Wonderful nose with red fruit, whole cluster elements intermixed with sous bois and animalic elements. Cool and restraint, early drinking window. Very elegant, sappy finish. A great Vosne 1er Cru.

Textbook example of Vosne 1er, gorgeous Vosne spice on the nose, truly remarkable transparency on the palate. This is as elegant and fine a Vosne-Romanee as one could hope for, delightful now with a brilliant future ahead of it. Very impressive.

Drank at a restaurant. At peak maturity right now. Depth and complexity hand in hand but retained fruit and freshness ensures the wine's longivity on the palate.

Took delivery of 3 bottles and popped open the one with slightly lower fill - cork was soaked half way and a bit soft. This was immediately appealing and drinkable, put in decanter and followed for the next few hours. Appealing initially in a lithe but lovely way the aromas on both the nose and palate deepened with some air. Gorgeous nose with Vosne spice and strong mineral under tow, on the palate a nicely focused acidic display of concentrated red fruit, positively saline, just makes you come back and back for the next sip. It's the kind of wine that makes you nod, smile and think yeah, lovely 1er Cru Burg from when a strong year, vineyard and producer conspire. The only way this could be better and I would score higher is if the fruit was a tad sweeter, but that is picking nits. My dilemma will be what to do with the remaining two bottles, this is drinking but will probably be very rewarding to cellar too. Well, if history is of any guide in those situations bottles don't tend to get too old in my house, sigh..

beautiful open nose with spices, red and black fruit, perfume like, minerality, excellent balance, tension and long finish. Drank 2 glasses with corvine. I did notice that the cork was very soft for the needle to get in , so perhaps very wet cork. Very good to drink but also good to keep.

A winsome wine and the group favorite (see villagewinejournal.blogspot). Classically Vosnish with spice, perfume and the WOW factor thrown in. Guessed (wrongly) it was one of the Vosne Grand Crus in the tasting. Lively, fresh and gripping. A great pleasure to drink now but there is serious structure to this wine as well. I'd give this another 5 years to really reach maximum potential.

Very very nice wine! Actually better than expected! Deep dark and velvet fruits. Very pure and delicate. I am sure this can go for miles and miles! Wow!

I think Barry's note is quite a good description of this wine. The only thing I would add is that these dark fruits with great intensity are well balanced with decent acidity and beautiful tannic structure. I think this drinks beautifully now, and it will be interesting to follow its development.

Top Burgundy Tasting at the Sotto Lounge. (Netherlands): Deep nose of black raspberries, black cherries, plums and espresso. On the palate the wine is deep, with dark black fruit, great intensity of flavor and a very long and spicey finish. A brilliant young bottle of Les Beaux Monts.

A little closed, but opens with air.
Would save a few years for tannins to soften.
