The 2016 Beaux Monts was one of the first wines to finish its malo in the cellars this year, having completed this in July, and the wine was in beautiful form at the time of my visit. The bouquet is deep, pure and sappy, offering up a fine blend of black cherries, black raspberries, dark chocolate, venison, a fine base of soil, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and loaded with pure fruit at the core, with excellent transparency, ripe, suave tannins and a very long, complex and vibrant finish. A beautiful example in the making.
