The 2010 Vosne-Romanee Les Petits Monts (from tank) shows lovely focus and energy in its dark red fruit, spices and licorice. With air, the aromas and flavors flesh out nicely on the mid-palate while an attractive mineral register gives the wine much of its personality. The Petits Monts captures the essence of the Drouhin house style. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030. This is an impressive showing from Drouhin. In my view the 2010s are more interesting and transparent than the 2009s. Veronique Drouhin describes 2010 as a vintage with long-term aging potential, which certainly seems to be the case. Some of the wines were vinified with a portion of whole clusters, including the Corton-Bressandes, Petits-Monts, Charmes and Musigny. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby & Co., New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770
