Perhaps just a good bottle (given what others have said), but this was to me precisely what a Ch Mont Rouge should be. Slightly vegetal character, nice soft acidity. Clear Pinot (C de Beaune) character. Not a block-buster but a good burgundy. Good length. I would not want a case of it, but the odd bottle would be a real pleasure.

Restaurant purchase, pnp. A great nose of baking spices. Palate a bit thin and flat, good acidic balance, plenty of tannin structure, but simple, amd too light on fruit.

unfortunately not nearly as good and exiting as the 06 or maybe I just was lucky and had a extemely good bottle of the 06, a shame I can`t seem to find more of the 06 anywhere. . .

A medium bodied Burgundy drinking well at this time. There is a lovely, plummy fruit laced with a hint of coffee and spice.
