2017 Emmanuel Rouget, Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru, Les Beaux Monts 1x75cl

Burghound – 91-93

Here there is a haunting perfume to the even more overtly floral-suffused nose that is comprised by the cool essence of red currant, cherry, anise and hoisin. The relatively supple yet strikingly refined middle weight flavors exude evident minerality on the vibrant and beautifully delineated if youthfully austere finale. This classy effort is textbook Beaux Monts. [10/01/2019]
