The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes comes from vines on shallow soils that contain a little sand and clay, oriented slightly more east than Aux Br?lées and therefore receiving more afternoon sunshine. It is red fruit all the way on the nose: crushed strawberry and red cherry fruit, fine delineation, however, at the moment more backward than the Aux Br?lées. Perhaps this is more tertiary in style. The palate is fresh and candied on the entry with veins of blood orange through the well-defined red berry fruit. The acidity is very well judged and lends this a sense of natural harmony, whilst the persistence on the finish is impressive. This is a stylish Les Beaux Monts from Bruno Clavelier and another fine 2015 to add to his portfolio.

The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes has a tightly knit bouquet with blackcurrant pastilles, iris and dark cherries. The palate is medium-bodied with good structure; it is fleshy in the mouth with pure red cherry and raspberry coulis notes, confit-like, nicely balanced with a smooth and quite seductive finish that lingers in the mouth. What a beautiful Vosne-Romanée -- one of Bruno's best this year.

The 2013 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes has a well-defined, mineral-led bouquet with lifted, perfumed blackberry and kirsch scents, hints of limestone just underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly sappy black cherry and raspberry fruit leading to a harmonious and svelte finish. This is a little more structured than the Aux Br?lées at this stage and will probably require a little more bottle age.

This wine was made from low yields of 30-35 hectoliters per hectare and bottled with neither fining nor filtration. Made in a soft, supple, up-front style, without the hard tannins that plague some 1991s. The 1991 Vosne-Romanee-Les Beaux Monts-Vieilles Vignes is similarly styled, only slightly more perfumed, with a longer finish than the Aux Brulees-Vieilles Vignes. An elegant, delicious Pinot Noirs for drinking over the near term. A Peter Vezan Selection, no known American importer.
