Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Les Petits Monts 2021 750ml

#35 in Top 100, 2025. The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits-Monts 1er Cru has a clean and precise bouquet with red cherries, redcurrant jus, crushed limestone and floral scents that are beautifully defined. The oak here is seamlessly integrated. The palate is well balanced with pliant tannins. Wonderful symmetry. A pretty Vosne-Romanée with a bright, svelte and harmonious finish that frankly shows the other wines in this disappointing flight how it should be done. Beautiful. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
