The wine is perhaps initially a bit closed and less approachable, but on the palate it reveals its substantial nature, a silky, fine-grained texture and plenty of fruit that comes out on the impressive finish. With a bit of age, this should be top-notch. The virtue of Beaumonts is the elevation, particularly in a hot year. Here the 0.3ha of old vines are planted in very thin soils at the top of the slope. ... More details

Aromas of dark berries, cherries, red fruits, sweet spices and rose petals preface the 2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaumonts, a medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional wine that's deep and concentrated, with bright acids and a long, saline finish.

Rated 95 by Vinous Media
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaumonts 1er Cru has a powerful, bold bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit mixed with rose petal and sous-bois scents. The palate is framed by firm tannins, quite saline at first, pulling back slightly from its assertive aromatics with a more streamlined, quite linear finish. This will require some cellar action for it to gain a little more weight on the back end.

A spicier and even more floral nose exhibits notes of cooler red and dark cherry scents along with hints of soy and hoisin. The sleek, intense and beautifully well-detailed flavors exude a bracing salinity on the youthfully austere, focused and linear finish that delivers outstanding depth and persistence. This is both stylish and classy and a wine that should repay mid to even longer-term cellaring.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Region: Burgundy

The beautiful region of Burgundy in France is famously home to some of the most exquisite red wines to be found anywhere on earth, and is most commonly associated with the silky, elegant and flavorful Pinot Noir varietal wines which are commonly produced there. However, the superb and mineral rich soils fed by the Rhone river, and the long hot summers and mild autumns of the region produce a wide variety of fine grapes, and as such, Burgundy produces plenty of different wines which are equally as good as the produce the region is famed for. The region of Burgundy itself has a wine-making history which stretches back at least two thousand years, and as such, it comes as no surprise that the wineries which fill the dozens of controlled appellations of the region rely heavily on traditional methods and techniques when it comes to producing their famous wines.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
