Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts sits high on the slope above Richebourg and close to Cros Parantoux, making it one of Vosne-Romanée’s most distinctive Premier Cru sites. Its elevated position and limestone-rich soils tend to produce wines of perfume, tension and finesse, with floral aromatics, red and dark fruits, fine spice and a pronounced mineral line. Compared with the broader power of some lower-slope Vosne vineyards, Les Petits Monts is often admired for its precision, lift and almost weightless elegance.
Grape Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir
Soil: clay and limestone
Appellation: Vines planted between 1934 and 1935.
Rows are planted with an north-south orientation, across the steep slope. The soil offers very good drainage; the roots are forced to permeate deeply into the rocks for water and nutrients.
