Forget that this is monthelie. Forget the low price. This is sick burgundy. Florent garaudet is an effing genius. Cherry licorice nose. Hint of earth. Just awesome. Cherry spice on the palate. Deep. Fresh. Juicy. Awesome spicy internal aromatics. Lingering finish. Will be at peak in 2 years but this is sick sick sick sick wine. Wow. Bought from Fass selections.

Les riottes. Young. Needs 2 years. Silky Tanins. Really fresh nose. Bright cherry fruit on the palate. Cherry flower internal aromatics. Really juicy. Finish is just super pleasurable.

Super aromatic. Spices galore. Wet earth strong soil tones. Palate is a bit closed. Well actually really closed. Great balance though and freshness. Good density and seems to get there after 10 minutes but needs maybe 30 minutes. Really long.

So young. So good. Floral. Very ripe and very pure. Pure raspberry/Bing cherry complicated by tree bark, mineral and wet earth. Massive palate. Structured, juicy and ripe. Very pure. Long but young and so promising. Juicy, long and very complex finish.

Unimpressive today closed? Cherry and chalk - Wait for 2 more years may be the Monthelie location catches up after all? I think this will come around.
