Louis Latour Monthélie – Monthélie – Red – 2022:

 

The Discreet Elegance of Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir

Maison Louis Latour’s Monthélie Red Wine is a masterful expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir, often affectionately dubbed the “mini-Volnay” for its seductive grace and finesse. Sourced from the clay-limestone slopes of the Monthélie appellation, this wine strikes the perfect balance between Burgundian depth and an appealing, medium-bodied structure. It’s the insider’s choice for those who value elegance over raw power.

Tasting Notes & Profile

• Color: A deep, luminous ruby, hinting at the wine’s concentration and aging potential.
• Nose: A delicate yet complex bouquet, featuring bright red cherry, fresh raspberry, and blackberry, with subtle, evolving hints of earthy forest floor and floral peony.
• Palate: Silky and well-rounded, the palate is supported by fine, integrated tannins. Flavors of ripe cherry and a touch of licorice lead to a refreshing acidity and a persistent, memorable finish.

This Monthélie Rouge is an exceptionally versatile food wine. Serve it slightly cool, between 57°F and 59°F (14-15°C), to elevate its aromatic profile. It pairs wonderfully with delicate meats and savory dishes.
