100% Pinot Noir.
With its bright and intense ruby color lined with crimson reflections, our Clos Marey-Monge Monopole 2017 is a complex, generous and flavorful Pinot Noir. The nose shows aromas of powder and red fruits, as well as notes of smokiness, all bringing great complexity to the wine. The palate is fresh, revealing firm tannins and a well-rounded structure. Long and sapid while aerial, the finale unveils a vibrant, energetic, and complex Pommard drinkable today, but also ageable for decades.
This wine’s subtle nose gives a first whiff is graphite and calf leather. For now, no fruit breaks through in this tightly coiled wine. The palate immediately strikes with an exquisitely fine texture that sits between creaminess and silk. Very fine tannins show a creamy unity, inflected with a hint of chocolate. The red cherry fruit at the core of all this is apparent, but it just takes time to reveal itself. Freshness, concentration and exquisite texture all ensure that it will have a gorgeous backdrop.
