The Vosne Romanee Petits Monts is my favorite wine in the Forey lineup. The bouquet is very expressive with red and darker forest berries – lovely Vosne spices with notes of violets and peony rose. On the palate a very good energy and nerve in the lovely red fruit. Fine depth in the fruit – love the playful minerality and fresh acidity … a really beautiful wine.

The Vosne-Romanee Petits Monts from Regis Forey is a real beauty and perhaps my favorite wine in the 2010 lineup. The bouquet is slightly closed but still very expressive with red berry fruits, good minerality spiced with violets with hints of peony rose. On the palate very elegant and refined with lovely red fruit supported by a playful minerality and a focusing acidity. The fruit is juicy and very energetic with a lovely core of sweet berries and finely grained ripe tannins.… Read the full article →
The Vosne Les Petit Monts is always a very charming wine – and the 2011 is no exception. In the bouquet loads of refined jelly fruit aromas and notes of pommegranate, allspice and peony rose. On the palate lovely lush fruit balanced by a refined minarality and a quite fresh acidity. Very elegant, with a lot of finesse.
Very Fine (92 – 94p) CASK

The Petit-Monts from Drouhin is one of the best wines from Drouhin. This magnum 2007 was however slightly disappointing. The bouquet was slightly closed but showing pure and ripe pinot fruit. On the palate one could hope for a little more concentration, and it’s lacking some freshness like a lot of 2007 reds. Fine minerality, and medium length – a nice drinkable but not very memorable wine.
(Drink from 2017) Very Good – 89p

The 2010 Les Petit Monts is a very fine effort from Liger-Belair. Very fine minarality, elegant, with a lot of finesse. Lovely wine.
