2024 Domaine Roulot Monthélie Rouge, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THE WINE

Domaine Roulot’s Monthélie Rouge is Pinot Noir from a Côte de Beaune village nestled near Meursault and Volnay. The grapes come from 40-year-old vines planted across limestone and clay. Post harvest, the fruit is completely destemmed, then undergoes a cold soak (kept at a low temperature) for 3 to 4 days prior to the start of fermentation. Fermentation is conducted in open-top wooden cuves using indigenous yeasts, lasting approximately 12 days. The wine is then aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels, with roughly 15% to 18% new oak. This wine offers a graceful introduction to Domaine Roulot's red wines, with an emphasis on balance and a clear expression of place. Serve with roast poultry, mushroom dishes or a selection of mild cheeses.
