DRC Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Petits Monts 2018
Tasting Note
'The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts 1er Cru expresses the growing season more than the terroir. Bulging with precocious Morello cherries and cassis on the nose, it can barely contain its youthful zeal and, for the Domaine, atypical decadence. The palate follows in a similar vein with saturated tannins, velvety red fruit, plump and sensuality. The purity is utterly seductive, but does not exude mineralité and terroir expression. Thoroughly enjoyable, yet it is not intellectual. But it does heighten intrigue, and I would love to taste the same cuvée in a cooler vintage since, to the best of my knowledge, we will see a few bottles released in the future. Good luck treasure hunting.'
