2022 Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Beaux Monts Dujac, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2022 Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Beaux Monts, Dujac

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts is another standout this year, mingling aromas of cherries and raspberries with notions of tea-smoked duck and exotic spices in a complex mélange. Medium to full-bodied, layered and vibrant, with a concentrated core of fruit underpinned by bright acids, it concludes with a youthfully chalky finish. - William Kelley, Jan. 2024

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2022 Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Beaux Monts, Dujac

Here there is a subtle though not invisible application of wood that still easily allows the airy, cool and restrained aromas of various black berries and cassis, and in particular cherry, floral and a mildly exotic whiff of dried orange peel. The energetic and beautifully well-detailed middleweight flavors are notably finer if less powerful than those of the Charmes while display notably more minerality as well on the compact, serious and built-to-age finale. This is a wine of finesse and refinement and though not especially concentrated, I like the balance as well as the aging potential, which is just as well as more depth would be welcome. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2024
