Tasting notes
The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts reveals an expressive, alluring nose of wood smoke, wild black fruit and violets that is already integrating its lavish application of high-quality new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and ample, its chassis of fine tannins cloaked in a deep core of dark fruit. This hasn't yet begun to shut down, but when it does, plan to forget it for a decade. From 70-year-old vines, with a finished alcohol of 14.2%—making it one of the highest-octane cuvées in the Rouget cellar this year.

The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Beaumonts, raised entirely in new oak, has a bewitchingly pure and intense dark cherry and blackcurrant-scented bouquet with subtle violet scents that emerge with time. Oh yes... The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit, a touch of dried blood and morels, leading to a refined yet intense finish. This is an absolutely outstanding Vosne-Romanée, sadly just two and a half barrels for the world to drink.
