The 2014 Monthélie les Duresses was the only red not touched by hail and my sample was taken directly from vat, though it will not be bottled until the spring. It has plenty of fresh redcurrant and cassis scents on the nose. It is simple on the palate with fine tannins, plenty of fruit and a juicy blackberry finish that will give lots of pleasure over the next 4-6 years.

Austere, yet offers a good dose of cherry, strawberry and graphite aromas and flavors, with a firm structure. Fine, juicy finish. Drink now through 2023. 24 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Monthélie Select to Add
