Founded in Beaune in 1880, Joseph Drouhin is one of the most influential wine producers in Burgundy. The domaine produces several grand cru wines in the Côte d`Or and in Chablis and since 1987 the family has also been making Pinot Noir wines in Oregon, USA. Les Petits Monts is a Premier Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanée, located on a small slope above the famed Romanée-Conti. The 2016 vintage was low in quantity, but its quality surprisingly high. Perfectly ripe grapes produced deep ruby-coloured wines, offering black fruit mingled with hints of violet and spices.

Vinous
(made from a normal crop of ripe grapes from a windy spot that's normally harvested late; vinified with 35% whole clusters): Bright light-medium red. Lovely aromatic verve to the aromas of raspberry, rose petal, minerals and white pepper. Juicy and firmly built, conveying excellent sneaky intensity to its flavors of red berries, minerals and flowers. Finishes a bit clenched in a positive way but juicy and high-pitched, with a vivacious note of orange zest. This very refined, sharply delineated wine finishes with firm building tannins and lingering salty minerality. I suspect that seven or eight years of aging will bring a more supple texture and an even higher score.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2018
