The Vineyard
Region : Côte de Nuits
Village : Vosne-Romanée
Appellation : Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru
Average vine age : 30 years
Soil : Iron-based clay
Vosne-Romanée, famous the world over for its Grand Crus, also produces some Premier Crus capable of competing with the best. The iron-based soil just north of Nuits Saint-Georges is absolutely ideal for the growing of Pinot Noir. The grapes reach their maximum maturity and it is by means of a traditional vinification that the lively perfumes and great fruitty character are released. This wine needs bottle ageing to fully realise its potential. The descriptive adjective in « Les Beaumonts » is « beau », which emphasises the quality of the wine that this particular vineyard on the hill produces.
