Bruno Clavelier Vosne Romanee les Beaux Monts 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

93-95 JM / 92-94 BH

East facing, clay on oolitic limestone, on the Flagey side of Beaux Monts, so does not get the cool air from the combe. Clean dense purple. Dense cherry kernel fruit with raspberry edges, some gingerbread and cinnamon, good acidity, complex, ultimately fresher than the more viscous Brûlées. An intriguing contrast in style. Tasted: December 2021. --Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Note: from 50+ year old vines on the Flagey side Tasting note: This is aromatically quite similar to the Brûlées though perhaps with just a touch more freshness. The delicious medium-bodied flavors flash the intrinsic minerality of a fine VRBM before terminating in a linear, focused and strikingly long finish. This is excellent.Sweet Spot. Outstanding. --Allen Meadows, Burghound
