Felettig Vosne-Romanée 1er cru Petits Monts 2023

94-97 points/'5 Star Wine,' Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "40% whole bunches for the Petits Monts which was the first picked this year, which it never used to be. Higher trained, hedged at 2m and managed by a chenillard rather than a full tractor. Lively in perfume, but it is in the mouth that one can see the exceptional intensity from this site. Both red and black fruit, a natural freshness, very lifted, 12.8%, with excellent acidity. Impressive. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Dec 2024."

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits-Monts 1er Cru includes 40% whole bunches this year and matured entirely in new oak. It was the first time that Felettig began the picking with this cuvée. Currently, the wood profile is more vocal than the fruit, though there is plenty of concentration here. The palate is finely chiseled, quite minerally and medium-bodied with supple tannins and a limestone-tinged finish with real animation. It is very classy, but it will need time to absorb the oak. Only two barrels were produced. Drink: 2028-2045. (Jan 2025)"

90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(40% whole cluster). A more subdued if still elegant nose somewhat grudgingly reveals its aromas of cool spice, exotic tea and just crushed red raspberries. The super-sleek, intense and delineated medium weight flavors also exude a lovely minerality on the moderately austere and less structured finale that doesn't have quite the same depth and persistence as the Feusselottes, at least not yet. Drink: 2031+. (Jan 2025)"
