The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts 1er Cru has a backward bouquet of dark berry fruit, earthy and almost peat-like scents emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, tart red cherries, white pepper and a touch of garrigue toward the long finish. This possesses real density and structure. Great potential. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, January 2022)

Jan 20th, 2022The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts 1er Cru has a very sensual and creamy bouquet with luscious red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, flirting with jamminess but thankfully avoiding that. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This is well balanced and more harmonious than its peers, with a fine bead of acidity and a fine-boned finish. This should age with grace and panache and seems like it is putting some distance between itself and Amélie Berthaut’s Les Suchots. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Needs a quadruple decant and 4 hours of air, but once it gets some air, the beauty unfolds. Another excellent wine from Amelie Berthaut!
