Domaine Laurent & Karen Boussey
Les Champs Fulliots Monthelie 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Monthélie, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Killer stuff here and a bit more substantial than the Sur la Velle. Nose is deep mid season cherries, expansive and deep. Huge limestone base and awesome sap and purity. Really deep but also lifted but more dense than the Sur la Velle. Palate is bright, high acid and fresh. Lovely early to mid season cherries and sweet/tart tannins. Seems more backwards than sur la velle but also has more upside with air. Will be back.

Nov 21st, 20222017 is so so good for Monthelie. Terrific and spicy nose of sour cherries and mid season cherries. Huge licorice. Poised and focused. Gobs of earth and minerals. Juicy, clean and energetic. There is significant structure and purity. Lovely dusty but substantial tannins. Such laser focus and accessible giving 17 mid season cherry fruit. Really saps out on the finish. Long.

Do NOT Pop and pour. Needs an hour decant. Honestly needs 2 years.
Nose: dense cherry fruit with some cherry licorice. Still integrating the oak. Not over the top but present. The true aromatics flit in and out.
Palate dense structured cherry fruit.
I’m guessing that this will be VERY good in 2 years. Maybe 9.4ish.
Bought from fass selections.
