The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts 1er Cru includes 40% whole bunch fruit. It has very fine definition on the nose: wild strawberry and raspberry, rose petal and a touch of vanilla. The whole bunch is very deftly used here. The palate is fresh and full of vigour, finely chiseled tannins with a detailed and slightly floral finish. Superb! (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2018)

Jul 20th, 2018This is in a great spot. Delicious brambly complexity from crisp dark red fruit. Not overly persistent but not finishing short. I think it has the balance to improve as secondary notes develop but not all tasters at the table agreed.

May 26th, 2018Lots of acidity. But vosne the greatest spot on earth for Pinot give the perfect fruit. Awesome wine for $75 and I wonder how it'll age.
