Purchased (after an incredibly enthusiastic recommendation) from Drouhin on a recent visit to Beaune against my better judgement since I knew nothing about this particular cuvee. But hey, vosne 1er cru... what can go wrong? Turns our a LOT. It wasn't good. At. All. It was actually quite bad but not in a flawed sense. Looking at notes from other reviewers this is probably never that great of a wine. My question to the otherwise well versed person who gave me a private tour of the cellars and a stellar tasting before recommending this bottle... WHY??? Don't but this wine in any vintage.

quite subtle now, nose not overly expressive, but drinks quite nicely with an ok structure and a sense of overall consistency. Muted black fruits, underwood. Would drink up.

(Drouhin Joseph Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts) Medium ruby-red colour. The nose is lovely, slightly baked fruit, forward with a ginger edge and some deep herby elements. In the mouth there is sweet fruit but the acidity that comes along is bright indeed sharp finishing - it rather dominates the palate despite the slowly lingering flavours. I can’t get at much else as the problem with the acidity is so prominent. A badly stored bottle? I don’t know, but I can’t recommend this.

Drouhin event. Cool, blue fruit. Didn't show well next to 2009 GE.
