The 2015 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts 1er Cru has a wonderfully pure, seductive bouquet. At the moment there is a lot of new oak to contend with, yet it is beautifully delineated, with hints of black cherry complementing the strawberry fruit. The palate is well balanced, offering sappy red currant and cranberry notes and tightening up a little with aeration. The wine is structured and noble, the solid, grippy finish suggesting that it is a long-term proposition. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Drink between 2023-2048) - VM

An elegant, cool and airy nose offers up pretty aromas of violet, plum, anise and Asian-style tea that add breadth to the mostly dark berry fruit scents. There is plenty of mineral character present on the precise, intense and muscular flavors that display excellent depth and persistence on the balanced and saline-infused finale. This classy and strikingly precise effort is positively marvelous and should amply reward mid to even longer-term cellaring. In sum, you'll be hard pressed to find a better example of the vineyard in 2015. (Drink starting 2027) - BH
