Monthelie Les Sous Roches 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This is a villages level red wine from the slopes of Monthelie, a satellite village near Volnay. Soils are thin with small stones. Recent climate changes are now creating conditions for perfectly ripe grapes. This formerly "rustic" village is now producing wines of surprising quality yet remain under the radar and relative values.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
This is a medium-bodied red wine with dark berry fruit and damp earth initial nuances. Generous and silky on the palate there is a nice evolution on the palate with subtle spice notes over the long finish.
