Tasting Notes and Scores
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts is completely de-stemmed and raised in 100% new oak. Now this has a great bouquet: very well defined with intense black cherry and kirsch aromas, deftly controlled and focused. The medium-bodied palate displays dense tannin, and the new oak is quite vocal at the moment but should be subsumed with bottle age. Do I think less new oak would have been preferable? Yes. But I still think this should mature into a fine Les Beaux Monts.

Mid crimson. Ripe and sweet on the nose, more red-fruited than the Gevrey and fresher but still dense and rich and rounded. Deeply, smoothly textured, slightly thickened by the oak. Plenty of pleasure but seems less reflective of the vintage. (JH)
