2016 Vosne Romanee Les Petits Monts

(made entirely with whole clusters): Bright ruby-red. Spectacularly pure, high-pitched, kaleidoscopic nose combines raspberry, blood orange and white pepper. Seriously dense and powerful but extremely young and not yet showing the harmoniousness of the Beaux-Monts, which was completely destemmed. The whole-cluster element gives this wine captivating peppery energy but has not yet fully integrated with the wine's acidity. But this beauty cleanses the palate and leaves the taste buds humming, finishing with a magical impression of weightlessness.
