The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts is a decided success, offering up a complex bouquet of smoky cherries, cassis, dark chocolate, fennel seed and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a deep and ample core of beautifully pure fruit, satiny tannins and excellent energy. It's already well on the way to integrating its 100% new oak.
