Produced from a vineyard owned by the engaging Veronique Drouhin, who often serves as this negociant’s ambassador to the United States, the medium-ruby-colored 2003 Vosne-Romanee Les Petits Monts (red) displays intense aromatics of red and black cherries as well as notes of chocolate. This broad, lush effort expands on the palate to reveal loads of dark fruits, coffee, and minerals. Medium-bodied, its finish is firm yet long. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2013.
