The 2021 vintage in Burgundy, including Vosne-Romanée, was marked by challenging weather, including severe April frosts and mildew pressure, leading to a smaller harvest. Despite the difficulties, the top red wines from 2021 are noted for their delightful aromas of red fruit and flowers, delicate palates with light, finely textured tannins, and a refreshing balance. This vintage is often described as a return to a more 'classical' style, with a focus on freshness and clarity of red fruits, reminiscent of the 1990s. Pierre Girardin's Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Hauts Beaumonts 2021 displays a deep ruby-red color with garnet highlights. The nose offers elegant aromas of fresh red fruits like cherry and raspberry, complemented by delicate floral notes of lavender and rose, with spicy nuances of white pepper and clove, and a mineral dimension. On the palate, it presents a silky, velvety texture with red cherry and red berry flavors, enhanced by blackcurrant notes mid-palate. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, providing structure without dominating, leading to a persistent finish with a refreshing mineral impression. Some tasters note a lovely freshness, good concentration, and a clean, precise character, suggesting it will improve with cellaring. 【A classical, fresh, and elegant expression of Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir】.
