From Maison Joseph Drouhin in France’s Vosne-Romanée, the Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Petits Monts 2023 is a refined 100% Pinot Noir sourced from a 0.39-hectare parcel in the Petits Monts Premier Cru vineyard, situated on a small promontory above Romanée-Conti with clay-limestone soils that impart exceptional elegance and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the generous 2023 vintage—characterized by warm conditions yielding ripe yet balanced fruit—undergo 2-3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by 14-18 months' aging in French oak barrels (25% new) to enhance texture and purity. Committed to sustainable viticulture since 2006, this production yields a ruby red wine with garnet edges and profound harmony.
Tasting Notes An elegant, vibrant red with pure red fruit and floral finesse, reflecting Vosne-Romanée’s limestone terroir. The nose reveals a wonderful pureness of fruit with crunchy character, intense freshly ground spices, and fresh flowers. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and poised, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of succulent red cherries, raspberries, and spearmint, leading to a long, graceful finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2023 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Petits Monts earned 98 points from James Suckling for its wonderful wine with pureness of fruit and crunchy character.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30-45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2040, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
