Tasting Notes: Louis Jadot Vosne Romanée Les Petits Monts is not very well known Burgundy because it is quite a small vineyard. It is a seductive, velvety wine, with intense aromas of red and black fruits, spices and gently oaky. It is not a very powerful wine, but tannins are full and round. The wine will have an harmonious and nice evolution.

Food & Wine match: It will be perfect with roasts, game, meats in sauce and fine cheeses and will easily age 10 to 12 years in perfect conditions of temperature and humidity.

Reviews: "Medicinal, tart red fruit. Smooth and round, lots of promise from its concentration and density." (RH) jancisrobinson.com
