2002 Vosne Romanee Beaumonts

Tasting notes
More elegant and finer than the Brulées though this doesn't have the raw muscle, spicy exuberance or power. As is usually the case, there is an appealing note of minerality on both the nose and the slightly chalky, sappy, very stylish flavors that build in intensity to an astonishingly long finish. This too is blessed with impeccable balance and undeniable class. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan01,2005.

Candied black fruits make up the nose of the medium-bodied 2002 Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux Monts. Its joyful, generous character slathers the palate with bing and black cherries. Its sumptuous satiny-textured, medium-bodied, elegant personality is long, precise, and pure. Pierre Rovani, The Wine Advocate Jun 2004
