2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, Jean Grivot

2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts, Jean Grivot

Les Beaux Monts is always one of the most impressive wines from this cellar. It is a beautiful vineyard in Vosne, and one of Etienne’s personal favourites. It is intense and energetic, with elegantly constructed tannins. The ageing potential is dialled up here. It is a wine of tremendous finesse already, but also one that promises much more in the years to come.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet, not quite as precise as the Aux Brûlées at the moment, with more horsepower - a mixture of red and black fruit with a touch of sea spray. The medium-bodied palate has finely chiseled tannins. It is tensile and linear, veering more like the Aux Brûlées on the mineral-driven finish. Another superb Premier Cru from Grivot.

A fine bright mid ruby purple. Perfectly poised fruit on the nose, this is not massive but it has been beautifully put together, a very sensual raspberry fruit with cherry undertones, just enough acidity, fine tannins. Pure and persistent. “Charisma, pudeur, beauty”, says Etienne – “what we are aiming for in our work.” Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023.
