The first buzz about Desaunay-Bissey on the internet chat boards began with tasting notes on their Beaumonts with posters referring to Bruno's Beaux-Monts as "a perfect (non-Leroy) Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts...[one that] begs to be drunk and savored." In fact, their Cellar Tracker's community rating of 94 points remains the highest score among ALL Beaumonts producers--of which there are many. Rated 93 points by William Kelley in 2015, the only vintage yet to be reviewed.
WHWC notes:" Limpid ruby color, a far cry from the opaque, Syrah-like hues of, for example, many 2018s. Striking aromatics: definitely red, as opposed to black, fruits: fraises des bois, wild strawberry, and a spiciness expressing itself in a piquant, cinnamon vein. Light on its feet, one could even call it ethereal; fine-boned with a discreet tannic frame; as it sits in the glass, it fills out and really starts to coat the palate. The finish—suggestive of raspberry coulis—is particularly impressive, lasting for nearly a full minute." -David Russell, 7/27/21
