Monthélie, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
An iron filled Pinot that seems as healthful as a pint of Guinness! Fantastic Burgundy for roast chicken and potatoes! Being next to Volnay Caillerets rubs off on this very fine Monthélie!

Was rated high by JR. So bought it blind. Quite dark. Deep - almost port wine like nose. Very dark ripe 🍒. Tannins almost fully resolved. Crushed stones. Almost sweet. Plummy (I guess that is the reason I cannot fully embrace it). Cloves, bark, crushed stones. Don’t decant. This looses its fruit over time.

Nice floral nose, but an awkward combination of tannic and a bit thin on the palate. Maybe it'll come around with a few more years?
