Les Beaumonts sits high on the Vosne-Romanée hillside directly above Richebourg, on soils that tend toward power and minerality — the Hudelot-Noëllat house descriptor for this cru is simply "a lot of power and minerality," and the 0.32-hectare parcel planted in 1920 delivers consistently structured, age-demanding wines that reward patience. In 2024, Charles van Canneyt harvested September 18, destemmed 100%, and made just 30% of his usual production across the estate. The Beaumonts shows its characteristic density and concentration — rich, dark-fruited, and serious on the mid-palate, with the firm but refined tannin structure and long mineral finish that defines this high-altitude site. A wine for the cellar.
