The terroir in Les Beaumonts is characterized by marly clay and limestone soils, which provide excellent drainage, allowing the vines to develop deep roots. The vineyard covers a range of altitudes, with the upper sections being cooler and less fertile, while the lower sections, closer to Echezeaux, are better suited for producing richer, fuller-bodied wines. Wines from Les Beaumonts are known for their elegance and complexity, typically exhibiting a mix of red and black fruits, such as cherry and blackberry, often layered with spices, floral aromas, and subtle earthiness. These wines have a silky texture with fine tannins, offering a long, refined finish. Top producers, including Domaine Cecile Tremblay, Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat, and Domaine Leroy, craft exceptional wines from this vineyard. These wines are highly sought after for their finesse and remarkable aging ability.

Ruby purple in colour, with an intensity on the nose well ahead of its predecessors. The Beaumonts goes into the mouth discreetly, then blossoms, offering summer pudding fruits with vivacious acidity, an excellent balance here. Drink from 2032-2040.
Decanter
The Beaux Monts from Hudelot-Noëllat is another level of richness and depth in 2022, with a pronounced mulberry and fig fruit aroma touched with earth, smoke and spice. The wine is dense and tannic, impressively muscular for this appellation. One can only imagine the secret is the old vines and judicious punching down; Van Canneyt farms 0.3 hectares at the top of the slope; otherwise, it is a cool terroir. The grapes were partially destemmed and firmly punched down before ageing in cask (25% new).
Wine Advocate
Aromas of plums, red berries, orange zest, exotic spices and potpourri preface the 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaumonts, a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered wine with a concentrated core of fruit that's framed by sweet, powdery tannins. It's pure and complete.
