Grivot completely destems the grapes and maceration à froid usually lasts just a day or two. The alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous, and malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel. Depending on the vintage, the proportion of new oak is around 35% for the premier crus.

Vosne-Romanée Les Beau Monts 1er cru is one of the largest of the Vosne-Romanée premier crus. This vineyard lies upslope and adjacent to Échezeaux and is separated from Richebourg only by the smaller Les Brûlées. Its distinct personality comes from its more southerly exposure and its marl and clay soils.
