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, bright ruby robe with luminous reflections, a sign of remarkable concentration.

Nose: Seductive aromas of pure morello cherry, enhanced by fine spicy notes and a subtle musky touch, offering both intensity and complexity.

Palate: Silky and velvety attack, noble and perfectly integrated tannins, with a remarkable balance between freshness and ripeness. Long, smooth and persistent finish marked by ripe red and black fruits.

Food Pairing: Ideal with roasted duck breast with gentle spices, herb-crusted rack of lamb, or a wild mushroom risotto.

Serving Temperature: Recommended 16°C.

Burgundy’s 2023 vintage is defined by exceptional warmth, producing generous, ripe, and well-balanced wines of outstanding quality.
