Les Petits Monts is one of the finest Premier Cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanée, situated on the upper slopes above the legendary Grand Cru Richebourg. This elevated position gives the wine a distinctive mineral purity and freshness alongside the richness and complexity typical of Vosne-Romanée.
Deeply coloured with a complex nose of dark cherry, violet, spice, and a characteristic earthy mineral quality. On the palate, the wine shows the classic Vosne-Romanée combination of power and elegance — rich, concentrated fruit with silky tannins and a long, complex finish. The 2020 vintage adds an extra layer of depth and concentration.
