2021 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Petits Monts, Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet
With Richebourg and Cros Parantoux as neighbours, you can expect great things from this vineyard. Amélie has five separate plots across half a hectare. The site is so steep and inaccessible that no tractors can reach it, and all work is done by horse or hand. The 2021 has elegant, inviting dark cherry aromas with the palate showing such finessed and exceptionally concentrated fruit. It is so persistent and direct on the finish, with Vosne’s powerful, velvet-like tannins.
