Vosne Romanee Petits Monts, Domaine Berthaut 2017

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Petits Monts offers up an appealing bouquet of sweet red berries, dried flowers and orange rind, framed by a deft touch of wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, framed by a fine-grained but firm chassis of tannin that asserts itself on the finish. It seems to me that the improved farming that Berthaut has instituted since taking control of this parcel is beginning to make itself felt, as this is more vibrant than previous renditions.
