The 2018 Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Vosne Romanée Les Petits Monts 1er Cru is one of Amélie Berthaut's favorite wines, hailing from an exciting, filigreed vineyard. This Premier Cru site is notably situated directly above the esteemed La Romanée Conti and Richebourg vineyards. Due to its incline, all operations are manual, highlighting the meticulous care involved. The 2018 vintage itself is described as having delightful energy, with a somewhat warm note and an extra generosity of fruit, yielding a hedonistic feel on the mid-palate with effortless energy and depth. This vintage is recognized as being among the top 3% of all wines globally. On the nose, expect a high-toned and opulent bouquet with prominent red fruit and Pinoté characteristics. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and ripe, showcasing a fine structure with a minerally, chalky texture and a sapid finish that lingers beautifully. While currently expansively fruity, it promises to develop greater complexity with time, as the ripe 2018 fruit is still on full display. Tasting notes also suggest oak, vanilla, caramel, red fruit (cherry, cranberry), earthy minerals, and hints of spices and floral notes. 【Premier Cru site directly above La Romanée Conti and Richebourg, with exceptional aging potential】 Food pairing suggestions include Beef, Veal, Poultry, and Game (deer, venison). This wine is built to age and is recommended for drinking from 2032 onwards. It is an excellent choice for a special celebration, a sophisticated dinner, or a dedicated tasting event for Burgundy connoisseurs who appreciate the evolution of a fine Premier Cru.
