Vinous: 93-95 Points

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru has a clean, precise bouquet with bunches of crushed violet filtered through the black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is very elegant on the entry, velvety in texture with a precocious yet controlled finish of blood orange infused dark cherry and cassis fruit. This is very harmonious and will be dangerously seductive in its youth, but it clearly has the substance to last.

Inside Burgundy: 92-96 Points

Huge dense purple. Dark fresh fruit with a beautifully spicy element, the nose keeps pulling me back for more. There are even some floral notes here, while the fruit is both fresh and dark at the same time. Middleweight on the palate, some redcurrant elements emerging towards the back, to help keep the tension - there is a lot going on here.
