Petits Monts is, literally, a stone's throw away from La Romanée and Richebourg.
Drouhin turns out one of the best examples from this great site. Today, I'm happy to offer magnums of Drouhin 2023Â Petits Monts.Â
 |
It delivers the velvety elegance, spice-inflected complexity, and outright class that you'd expect from its neighbors.
Drouhin's Petits Monts is seamless, dripping with refinement, 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.
Drouhin's plot in Petits Monts is farmed biodynamically and worked by horse and plow, as there's no path for a tractor, and all harvested by hand. VĂ©ronique Drouhin is convinced that the farming has elevated this site.Â
The 2023 Petits Monts is beautifully refined and gorgeously textured. It is utterly pure, possessing a jaw-dropping length and impeccable breeding. This vintage is especially soaring and vivid, and the magnum format only accentuates these qualities.Â
This is a bottle that perfectly sums up why I like Drouhin so much. At their best, Drouhins come across with an unmediated purity that is haunting.
