There is a lot of focus on Aux Malconsorts, Cros Parantoux and Aux Reignots but Vosne-Romanee 1er cru Les Beaux Monts is perhaps a bit overlooked these days.
The lack of attention seems a bit strange and perhaps even unfair – as Les Beaux Monts was very highly regarded in the old classifications.
There are fine producers making wine in Les Beaux Monts, but none of the wines are hyped by the market … except perhaps the Les Beaux Monts from Mme Bize-Leroy. Steen Ohman
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Beau Monts 1er Cru might be my pick of this producer's 2018s. Limpid in colour, it offers exuberant scents of raspberry coulis, redcurrant jus and wild strawberry intermingling with iodine and violet, well-defined and probably needing 3-5 years to gain more sophistication. That will come. The palate is packed full of juicy ripe red fruit. A succulent and plush Vosne-Romanée with a mouth-filling, silky finish that has just enough salinity and edge to urge you back for another sip. Excellent, but do give it 3-5 years to develop some secondary notes. - Neal Martin
