PRE ARRIVAL 2023 Pierre Vincent Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses 750Ml

"1979 planting, 50% whole bunch vinification. A solid ruby colour. There is significant concentration of dark red fruit on the nose, on the firmer side, again barely showing whole bunch character. The Monthelie is vibrating with energy on the palate, backed by good acidity, and adequate tannins behind. Structured, with slightly more energy than the Volnay. Blacker fruit in fact at the back." 91-93 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"The 2023 Monthélie Les Duresses 1er Cru contains 50% whole clusters. Wild strawberry and loamy scents unfurl on the nose, well-defined with a touch of allspice. The palate is more complex than the Volnay, the tannins slightly finer with a precise and saline finish. The 2023 is elegant and actually my pick amongst Vincent's reds this year." 90-92 points - Neal Martin, Vinous
