Aromas of dark berries, plum, spice and smoke lead to a fleshy, medium to full-bodied palate with a muscular yet lively structure, balanced by roundness and fine tannins. A serious and concentrated Monthélie with good ageing potential, it will benefit from some patience in bottle.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e| \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 89-91\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Feb 1, 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, spices, smoke and plums, the 2021 Monthélie 1er Cru Les Duresses is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, with a rather muscular, serious profile.
