TASTING NOTES

This is always the demure wine of the group; shy and subtle. A beautiful ruby/garnet colour, very lifted and bright. Very fine aromas, delicate - red fruit, strawberries, jellied cherries. Very fine, very attractive. This has considerable finesse and complexity. Lovely clarity and depth on the finish. Superb!

Near Volnay, Clou des Chênes sits high on the slope in calcium-rich marl soils. This parcel delivers a wine of inky dark concentration with lovely depth of ripe cassis fruit, stony minerality and plenty of tannic concentration on the palate. This transcends the typical Monthélie to achieve a substance and structure worthy of laying down for 10 to 20 years.

(2017 vintage) Unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berry fruit, woodsmoke, cassis and raw cocoa, the 2017 Monthélie 1er Cru Clou des Chênes is medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, with a comparatively muscular chassis of fine but youthfully chewy tannin, lively acids and a sappy core of fruit, concluding with a chalky finish. This will reward some bottle age.
