Popped and poured; consumed over 3+ hours. The 2018 Monthelie, “Cuvée Miss Armande” by Domaine Douhairet-Porcheret comes from small parcels throughout Monthelie totaling a little over 2 acres. The wine pours a bright ruby color with a transparent core. No signs of sediment. The wine is medium viscosity, with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is redolent of red fruit: lightly macerated strawberries and cherries, horse blanket, red flowers with some forest floor. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. The notes on the nose are confirmed. This is a somewhat rustic Burgundy but hugely charming right from the go. Drinking well now and should continue to do so through 2030.

2023/7. Still pretty country but there seemed to be notably more refinement and flesh than the 2015 Meix Garnier, despite the latter being the “better” vintage. Juicy, yogurts berries and a moreish good time
