Vosne Romanée Les Beauxmonts, Domaine Perrot-Minot 2015

The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes has a clean and pure bouquet with ample ripe red cherry, cassis and iodine scents, underneath which lies fine mineralité, even if it will take 4-5 years to really surface. The palate is ripe and poised on the entry. There is a silver thread of acidity here that is neatly interwoven throughout this premier cru, however, it is the precision and the finesse of the tannin that really elevates this wine. It is a sophisticated Les Beaux Monts that could end up offering two decades of pleasure. This is excellent.

Outstanding
A wonderfully spicy nose consists of a lovely array of floral elements that add breadth to the pure black pinot fruit scents. I very much like the freshness and sense of underlying tension to the beautifully well-delineated and mineral-driven flavors that display a distinct saline character on the sleek, refined and wonderfully long and balanced finale. This is very classy juice that should repay extended cellaring. Drink: 2027+
