Tasting notes
The 2009 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux-Monts is radiant, supple and fleshy from the very first taste. Graphite, tar, minerals, spices and smoke are some of the many notes that take shape as this striking wine opens up in the glass. The Beaux Monts blossoms in every direction as it shows off its inimitable personality and class.

The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux-Monts is radiant, supple and fleshy from the very first taste. Graphite, tar, minerals, spices and smoke are some of the many notes that take shape as this striking wine opens up in the glass. The Beaux Monts blossoms in every direction as it shows off its inimitable personality and class. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. My tasting at Dujac was one of the highlights of the two weeks I spent in Burgundy in late November/early December 2011. I tasted through all the 2010s in barrel and 2009s in bottle. The domaine’s 2009s are among the wines of the vintage. Importers: The Sorting Table, Napa, CA; tel. (415) 491-4724; Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel.

(this was bottled at the end of March due to a late malolactic fermentation): Good deep red-ruby. Wild aromas of raspberry, blood orange and iron, plus a whiff of fresh blood. High-pitched, very primary flavors of red fruits and spicy oak; comes across as a bit musclebound today, but shows terrific energy for the vintage. Finishes firmly tannic, minerally and very long. This wine spent less time in barrel after the secondary fermentation owing to the late malo.
