Vosne Romanee 1er cru Les Petits Monts 2022
Reviews
The Wine Advocate 92-94/100
Aromas of rose petals, sweet red berries, orange zest and wild plums introduce Berthaut's 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Petits Monts, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless wine that's pure and ethereal, with melting tannins and a long, mineral finish. This parcel's rehabilitation continues, and it appears to be really paying off. Amélie Berthaut has presided over this Fixin reference point for the better part of a decade now, uniting the vineyards of the Domaine Denis Berthaut on her father's side and Domaine François Gerbet on her mother’s. This enterprise now encompasses some 16 hectares, with Amélie's husband Nicolas Faure overseeing the vineyards. Soils are cultivated mechanically, and treatments are largely organic. In the winery, vinification incorporates increasing percentages of whole bunches, with less extraction and tannin than in yesteryear, emphasizing suavity and perfume. Back in 2019, I wrote that all the stars are aligned at this address, and that prophesy certainly appears to be coming true.
