Vintage Character Arnaud Baillot Vosne Romanée 'Les Beaumonts' Premier Cru 2022 is a Premier Cru wine from the Vosne Romanee appellation. Later budbreak helped protect vines from April frost. Four summer heatwaves and a general lack of rain then tested water reserves, although timely small showers helped the crop. Despite the heat, the regional report finds fresh fruit and vigour alongside concentration. The vintage offers ripeness without surrendering its sense of lift. For Pinot Noir from Vosne Romanee, the season puts acidity and tannin texture in dialogue with red-fruit ripeness. In the 'Les Beaumonts' premier cru, expect greater depth and a firmer frame. The central vintage question is how small summer showers moderated the effect of four heatwaves.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Red cherry and raspberry carry the fragrance here; violet, discreet spice and a light earthy note add detail. On the palate it is dry and medium in body, with fine, medium tannin and medium-high acidity giving the Vosne Romanee fruit a fresh frame. The finish is persistent, with forest floor and dried flowers adding depth as the wine ages. Try it with seared tuna and mushroom risotto, or glazed duck with mild spices; the fine tannin and medium-high acidity suit these dishes without overpowering them.
Winery Background Arnaud Baillot works with his wife Laure from Beaune, selecting small parcels across village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru appellations. He favours restrained new oak and an approach that lets the place stay legible in the finished wine. In the estate's Burgundy range, this is the 'Les Beaumonts' premier cru. Pinot Noir and the Vosne Romanee name set the wine's frame, and the 2022 season shapes its balance.
