Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret 'Les Duresses' 1er Cru Monthélie 2022
$115.00
This Pinot Noir offers an intense, bright hue flecked with purple. The nose reveals characteristic aromas of morello cherry, cherry stone, wild strawberry, redcurrant and raspberry combined with subtle gamey notes and a touch of spice. The palate has plenty of volume and a nice, fleshy texture underpinned by rather astringent tannins in its youth. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted. 100% destemmed, fermented in wood vats for 12 to 20 days with daily pump over and punch down. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels (Tronçais), 10% new for an average of 18 months. Unfined/Unfiltered
