The Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1996 is a mature, classically structured Pinot Noir from a vintage renowned for high acidity and longevity. The bouquet reveals dried red cherry, currant, rose petal, forest floor, and subtle truffle, layered with hints of spice and earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and finely etched, with resolved tannins and a vibrant acid backbone that keeps it remarkably alive. Flavors of sour plum, dried herbs, and savory mineral tones unfold with precision and restraint. The texture remains firm yet harmonious, reflecting both site and vintage discipline. The finish is long, savory, and persistent—an elegant, evolved Beaux Monts that showcases the structural rigor of 1996 and the refinement of Vosne-Romanée.

Domaine Georges Noëllat is a historic Vosne-Romanée estate with holdings in some of the village’s most coveted Premier and Grand Cru sites. Traditionally, the domaine followed a classical Burgundian approach, favoring moderate extraction, careful oak integration, and wines built for aging rather than early accessibility. The style emphasizes aromatic purity, fine tannins, and transparent vineyard expression. Les Beaux Monts, one of Vosne’s most esteemed Premier Crus, sits on a well-exposed slope producing wines of structure, perfume, and notable longevity. The vineyard is often considered just below Grand Cru level in quality. In strong vintages, it delivers depth with remarkable finesse.
