"Focused and beautifully well-delineated"
- 2017 Drouhin Vosne Romanee Les Petits Monts

Posted by Ian McFadden

Petits Monts is one of my favorite bottles from Drouhin. I'm not alone.

Offers for Drouhin's Petits Monts are essentially guaranteed to sell out.

Drouhin's Petits Monts is seamless, dripping with class, and presented with pitch-perfect harmony. Like Roumier's Cras and Fourrier's CSJ, this is one of those 1er Crus with a rabid following.

Petits Monts is, literally, a stone's throw away from La Romanée and Richebourg. It delivers the velvety elegance, spice inflected complexity and outright class that you'd expect from its neighbors.

Drouhin's 2017s are stunning. They are beautifully refined and gorgeously textured. The 2017 Petits Monts is utterly pure, possessing a jaw-dropping length and impeccable breeding.

Drouhin's plot in Petits Monts is farmed biodynamically. Indeed, this is an extra au naturel plot, worked by horse and plow as there's no path for a tractor, and all harvested by hand. Véronique Drouhin is convinced that the farming has really elevated this site.

This is an utterly brilliant vintage of Petits Monts. I'm confident that the quantities available won't be enough to meet demand. Please give us your ideal order, and we'll try our best.
