Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 2023 Domaine des Lambrays | Burgundy

The Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts from Domaine des Lambrays represents one of the most strategic acquisitions made by Jacques Devauges since he took the helm of the wine estate in 2019: nearly half a hectare in the heart of this legendary climat, renowned for its northern location within the appellation, facing the Clos de Vougeot, on clay-limestone soils of remarkable depth and richness. The vines benefit from slow ripening and deep root systems, which give this Pinot Noir exceptional aromatic complexity and density of texture. This Beaux Monts clearly bears the hallmarks of the great Vosne wines: purity, fragrance, and depth.

Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin: The Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts from Domaine des Lambrays is one of the finest achievements of the wine estate’s new era, during which Jacques Devauges crafts each cuvée with ever-increasing ambition and rigor.

The nose makes a striking impression with the aromatic purity and generosity characteristic of the great Vosne wines, revealing an expressive bouquet of fresh cherry and blueberry, enveloped in delicate floral notes. Light spicy nuances and a subtle hint of rose enrich the overall profile, foreshadowing the depth of the terroir.

On the palate, the wine is lush, indulgent, and silky-smooth, with exceptional finesse, carried by tannins of exemplary finesse that are perfectly integrated into the wine. The balance between the richness of the fruit and its natural freshness is remarkable, leading to a long, mouth-watering finish that reveals the complexity of an exceptional terroir destined to blossom magnificently over the years.
