Savoury burgundy, nice structure, still some good tannin. Just a little plain, as Monthélie unfortunately often seems to be. Lacks mid palate richness.

Belle couleur grenat avec un léger disque orangé. Nez brillant et pure de petits fruits rouges, de fleur et de terre humide. Bouche ample avec de beaux tannins polis; belle maturité autant au nez qu'en bouche. Notes minérales qui persiste en finale. Magnifique vin pour ce niveau d'appelation et à son apogée. 92

(at Gramercy Tavern – NYC) True ruby with a hint of pink. Strong meat and red fruit on the nose with sweet/sour spice. A bold but thoroughly wonderful nose. Elegant yet filling palate that is currently shy but very pure. This is only going to get better. I like it a bunch. (90)

Comte Lafon 1ers (La Trompette, London): Slightly cheesy, lactic, yoghurt nose. Some sort of bacterial spoilage? Flawed.

Nose slightly closed; lovely fruity taste - you could drink it all evening
