Roulot, Monthelie Rouge 2023

The 2023 Monthelie Rouge from one of Burgundy's greatest producers. Monthelie — a modest but quietly respected village appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune — shows the qualities that often define Monthelie reds: lifted red fruit, subtle florality, and a supple Pinot Noir character rooted in clay-limestone soils. On the nose, expect a pretty bouquet of red berries and delicate florals, possibly with a hint of earth or spice. Tasting it young, it likely offers lively red-fruited flavors, gentle tannins, and a refined mid-palate; structure is present but not heavy, giving a fresh, inviting impression.
