The Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Petits Monts comes from one of the finest Premier Cru vineyards of Vosne-Romanée, perched on a small promontory directly above the legendary Romanée-Conti vineyard. According to a local saying, "At Les Petits Monts, the whole world lies at your feet," a fitting tribute to this exceptional site. Its very rocky clay-limestone soils and ideal exposure produce a Pinot Noir of extraordinary elegance, combining purity, freshness and remarkable aromatic depth.

Appearance: Deep, brilliant ruby-red colour.

Nose: Characteristic aromas of Morello cherry enhanced by refined spice notes and a subtle hint of musk.

Palate: Wonderfully silky on entry, with exceptionally refined tannins and vibrant freshness. The finish is remarkably long, leaving an impression of elegance, finesse and complexity.
