Maxime Cheurlin is always particularly enthusiastic about this bottling from the lower part of the Les Beaux Monts, and rightly so. It's generally his densest and most backward premier cru, with 80% new wood for added backbone. It's fresh, savoury and sappy, with compact bramble and black cherry fruit, a twist of fennel and a long, tapering finish. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2030 ... More details

91-93 Aromas of cassis, blackberry, orange rind, grilled game and creamy new oak introduce the 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, a medium to full-bodied, ample wine with a fleshy core of nicely concentrated dark, sappy fruit, chewy structuring tannins and an expansive finish. Like all of Cheurlin's wines in the last two or three years, this is considerably less advanced than his early vintages were at the same stage, making it harder to assess, so it will be more than usually interesting to revisit from bottle.

A high-toned if reserved and cool nose blends notes of pomegranate, red cherry and plenty of spice and floral influences that include orange pekoe tea, anise, sandalwood and a whiff of oak. The sleek, intense and delineated medium weight flavors are borderline pungently mineral-driven, all wrapped in a balanced and beautifully persistent finish. This is a seriously lovely effort that is a classic VRBM.

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet of dark cherries mixed with raspberry and rose petals. It becomes a little candied with aeration and lacks the complexity of d'Eugénie's Aux Brûlées. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit and good depth, but maybe just a tad over-extracted toward the oaky finish. Give it two or three more years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

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

In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
