Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts 2020: Dark Fruit Elegance
Red 13.5% ABV ABV Berthaut-GerbetThe finish on this is unreal
Tried this at a wine bar after the guy behind the counter recommended it. You take a sip and it just keeps going — cherry and something almost smoky or tobacco-ish? Had to look it up afterwards because I couldn't stop thinking about it. Definitely one for sitting and savouring rather than knocking back with dinner.
Special occasion wine and it delivered
Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both blown away. The dark fruit flavours are incredible — like blackcurrant and cherry just rolling on and on. Tannins are smooth, not that drying thing you sometimes get with reds. At £199 it's not an everyday bottle but for a celebration it was perfect.
Really nice but hard to justify the price
A mate brought this to a dinner party and it was genuinely lovely — big on dark fruit with this peppery edge that I liked a lot. Pinot Noir doesn't always have that kind of weight to it so that was a pleasant surprise. But if I'm honest, £199 is steep and I've had bottles at half the price that got close.
Burgundy that actually lives up to the hype
I'm still fairly new to spending this much on wine but I wanted a proper Burgundy for once. The raspberry and cherry on the nose pulled me in straight away and then the palate is all dark fruit and herbs, really layered. Silky tannins too, nothing harsh at all. Worth saving up for.
