RATINGS

90The Wine Advocate

...a pretty, mineral-laced personality. Red cherries, incense and spices...High-toned aromas add lift on the finish. This remains a touch compact...made from two parcels of fairly young vines; 6 and 15 years of age respectively.

90-92Stephen Tanzer

...red fruits, graphite and menthol. Then juicy and minerally in the mouth...linear and sharply delineated...the tannins are firmer and more visible today, but nicely ripe.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Attractive nourishment. Burly with sweet fruit on the finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Les Beaux Monts

Les Beaux Monts is a 28.6-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is on the northern edge of the appellation, bordering Flagey-Echezeaux. The vineyard has a southern exposure, and the soil is part clay and marl. It is one of the largest of Vosne-Romanee’s Premier Crus. Clive Coates calls Les Beaux Monts “a nice big wine, but nonetheless perfumed, full of finesse, even lush.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
