Domaine Matrot Monthelie 2016

A beautifully expressive wine from the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, a region renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. Monthelie, located just east of the famous village of Meursault, is a lesser-known gem within the Côte de Beaune, producing wines that often offer great value while showcasing the depth and complexity of Burgundy’s terroir.

This Monthelie 2016 is a perfect example of the region’s potential. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of ripe red berries, subtle floral notes, and a touch of earthy minerality. The palate is elegant and well-structured, with flavors of red currant, cherry, and a hint of spice. Fine tannins provide balance, and the wine’s refreshing acidity enhances its purity and freshness.

The finish is long and smooth, with an ever-present minerality that reflects the limestone-rich soils of Monthelie. This wine offers a glimpse into the heart of Burgundy, where tradition and terroir combine to produce wines that are both approachable and age-worthy.
