The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts opens in the glass with a brooding bouquet of wild blueberries, cassis, woodsmoke and peonies that's framed by a lavish but nicely integrated application of high-quality new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, muscular and textural, with a deep and layered core, fine-grained tannins and a long, penetrating finish.
