Dujac Vosne-Romanée 1er cru Les Beaux Monts 2011

92-95 points Fine Wine Review: "The Vosne-Beaux Monts shows red fruits and minerality with good length and a smooth texture. This is a very good representation of Beaux Monts. (Issue #139; 2013)"

92-94 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(from a 1987 planting and vines planted in the 1930s): Precise, perfumed aromas of raspberry, blood orange and flowers. Sharply chiseled flavors of red cherry, minerals and spices convey superb cut. This vivacious, intense, tactile wine is almost 2010-like in its inner-mouth tension. Finishes with a light touch and excellent grip and persistence. A beauty in the making. (Jan/Feb 2013)"

91-93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A positively gorgeous and highly spiced nose also offers up notes of red currant, plum, violet and rose petal along with hints of hoisin and soy. The intensely mineral-driven medium weight flavors possess a lovely sense of energy along with terrific depth on the mildly austere, persistent and palate soaking finish. This is really impressive as it is textbook Beaux Monts. (Jan 2013)"

92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The inherent elegance and red fruity character of the 2011 vintage is quite striking in some of the more normally reserved and black fruity crus such as Beaumonts, and the Dujac version is all suave personality out of the blocks. The deep and beautifully pure nose offers up scents of cherries, blood orange, dark soil tones, cocoa, gamebirds, smoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off beautiful mid-palate depth, with lovely focus and balance, fine-grained tannins and superb length and grip on the properly reserved and very promising finish. Like the Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Beaumonts, the 2011 from Domaine Dujac is very red fruity in profile in this vintage. Lovely juice. 2020-2050+. (Nov/Dec 2012)"
