The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru is a little earthier on the nose compared to the Aux Brûlées, with a touch more sous-bois and cedary scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, citrus-fresh, very tensile and with more salinity on the finish compared directly with the Brûlées. Hints of graphite emerge with aeration, gaining complexity all the time. Sublime.
