Monthélie Rouge

Information

Description

Bouchard Père & Fils Monthélie Rouge combines Pinot Noir from parcels with complementary exposures in the village between Volnay, Meursault and Auxey-Duresses. Clay-limestone soils, marl and gravel contribute to the diversity of this village cuvée. Grapes are picked and sorted by hand, then fermented in small vessels and gently pressed. Maturation continues in French oak barrels. The wine has a dark garnet colour with violet highlights, while its bouquet suggests red- and black-fruit preserves. The palate remains fruity and rounded, giving it a readily approachable character.
