Offering up aromas of sweet berries, cassis and forest floor, the 2019 Monthélie is medium to full-bodied, bright and velvety, its generous core of fruit underpinned by lively acids and framed by beautifully refined tannins. It's another lovely rendition of this under-the-radar cuvée.

The 2018 Monthélie is showing beautifully, bursting with notes of cherries, raspberries and sweet forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, lively and incisive, its bright spine of acidity and chalky tannins cloaked in a rich core of fruit, this is well worth seeking out and confirms Anne Morey's considerable talents as a red winemaker.

Pretty and expressive, the 2017 Monthélie is showing well from bottle, bursting with aromas of cherries, wild berries and rich soil tones. Medium-bodied, lively and fine-boned, it concludes with elegantly chalky back-end grip.

The 2016 Monthelie Rouge was picked at 10 hectoliters per hectare. It is a gorgeous bouquet with expressive red cherry, wild strawberry and veins of blue fruit, not a million miles away from an Auxey-Duresses in style. The palate is fleshy and structured in the mouth, fresh and sappy with black plum and a splash of soy on the lively finish. This is a dense Monthelie that has superb substance and length. Excellent.
