Tasting notes
A particular success is the début 2019 Monthélie Rouge, a lovely wine that unwinds to reveal notes of raspberries, plums, orange rind, spices and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's tightly wound and mineral, with real intensity and cut. I sensed that Loïc was just as taken aback by how well this has turned out as I was. Four barrels were produced.

A new acquisition from Dom Newman. Cask sample. Much deeper in every way than most Monthelies. Lots to chew on. I suspect some Monthelie fans might find this a bit much – without enough delicacy. But there is certainly potential for bottle age here even if it’s atypical. (JR)
