Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts

France
Burgundy
2021

One of the best Premier Cru in Vosne-Romanée, this site is directly above La Romanée Conti and Richebourg. Because of the steepness of the slope, it must be farmed by hand. Berthaut's vines are in the middle and bottom part of Petits Monts, planted in 1919, 1934, 1949, 1964, and 2008. 20% whole cluster fermentation, with 40% new oak used during aging. 

 

Very limited.

" Here too the wood treatment is admirably subtle as it easily allows the spicy red and dark currant, exotic tea and soft floral nuances to be appreciated. There is better refinement to the remarkably intense and beautifully well-detailed mineral-suffused flavors that terminate in a moderately austere and somewhat linear finale that possesses fine depth and length. At least some patience though should be beneficial as this needs to flesh out with time in bottle."

"Pretty and ethereal, the 2021 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Petits Monts reveals aromas of raspberries, orange zest, warm spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, melting tannins and a mouthwatering finish, it's very true to site and vintage."

"The 2021 Vosne-Romanee Les Petits-tv1onts ler Cru was fermented in concrete instead of stainless steel in order to lessen reduction, though there is still a little on the nose, Nevertheless, one can discern the precise red cherries and crushed strawberry aromas, that distinctive floral touch. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, exquisite balance and quite a sustained, understated, slightly gourmand finish that lingers long in the mouth, "
