A deeper nose of darker berry fruit - open, pure, attractive too. More direct and with more drive to the flavour. This has width and just a bit more structure on which to hang its flavours. A touch of finishing bitters that are additive to the experience of this deliciously dark-fruited wine. Simply excellent…
The 2019 Monthélie Aux Fournereaux has a slightly earthy bouquet that complements the cranberry and wild strawberry fruit. Pretty - but it needs more intensity. The palate offers tart red cherry fruit on the entry, smooth in texture with some of the wood tannins present towards the finish. But there is also a pleasing brightness to this Monthélie and it should drink well after a year in bottle.
