Noëllat/Georges Vosne-Romanée 1er cru Les Beaux Monts 2022

95 points/'Outstanding,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux-Monts 2022 is, unsurprisingly, one of the top wines of this vintage (Cecilé Tremblay has also produced a magnificent wine from this vineyard). Rich, silky, and intense, this is Vosne really showing off. What a lovely wine! Drink from 2033. (1/22/24)"

93-95 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A concentrated central core of intense purple which mirrors the intensity of the fruit on the palate. Possibly less nuanced than I have sometimes tasted it, but early days, A very refined finish. More to come later on the nose, I suspect. Perfectly judged ripeness in the fruit. (Nov 2023)"

92-94 points/'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .45 ha parcel). A perfumed, spicy and elegant nose freely reveals its array of plum, dark berries, exotic tea, violet and sandalwood wisps. The tension-filled and even more mineral-driven middleweight flavors possess a sleek mouthfeel that also suffuses the moderately austere and impressively persistent finish. This classy and stylish effort is impeccably well-balanced and also very much worth investigating. Drink: 2034+. (Jan 2024)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed. It takes a while to get going on the nose, with hints of blackcurrant pastilles, rose petals and a touch of iodine. It becomes more floral with time. The medium-bodied palate has velvety smooth tannins and a fine bead of acidity, sorbet-fresh, with a hint of licorice developing on the finish. It will need some bottle age to smooth its edges. Very fine, but one for the more patient amongst you. Drink: 2029-2050. (Jan 2024)"
