Tasting Note: Deep red color. Nose: powerful and intense with aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, musk and game meat. On the palate similar aromas, good acidity and balance, mouth filling and rich with a long elegant finish. Pairs well with bold flavored dishes, wild boar pate, steak in red wine sauce. The vineyard 1er cru Grand Epenots “Clos de Citeaux” is a 3.44 hectare (8.5 acre) monopole Production: 7,000 bottles Producer Information In 1720 the MONNIER family established their domaine in Meursault. The domaine is composed of 17 hectares (42 acres), it is one of the rare wineries of the “Cote de Beaune” region producing both red and white wines and they are equally adept at the production of each. Rich in experience, Jean-Claude and his son Nicholas Monnier honor the knowledge and experience left by their ancestors and uphold these traditions whenever possible. They continue with care and love, making wines in the cellar that are classically and authentically Burgundian. No matter what appellation – Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Volnay, Pommard or Beaune, their wines are above all a product of the terroir and of a winemaking approach that seeks to showcase each individual parcel or vineyard with a minimum of intervention. The domaine’s vines are between 25 to 60 years of age, creating elegant wines of great complexity, intensity and personality. .

  • PRESS REVIEW Vintage 2017
    PRESS REVIEW Vintage 2017 January 2020 Vinous - Stephen Tanzer 2017 CHABLIS Antonio Galloni The 2017 Chablis is a silky, perfumed and open-knit wine with lovely depth to play off the lifted floral aromatics. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper add brilliance to this racy, polished Chablis. 90 The 2017 Chablis Les Lys 1er Cru is powerful, dense and savory with lots of energy. Savory herbs, dried flowers and lemon peel come together in a Chablis that is bright, punchy and full of character. The 2017 is a bit hearty and rough around the edges, but it certainly isn't lacking in depth or intensity. 90 The 2017 Chablis Les Vaillons 1er Cru is resonant and super-expressive. Lemon confit, almond, dried herbs, crushed flowers and mint come together in an attractive, nuanced Chablis that will drink well right out of the gate. The finish dries out just a touch. Otherwise, the 2017 is nicely done. 90 The 2017 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is soft, open-knit and expressive, with no hard edges and plenty of immediacy. Bright citrus and floral character adds lift. There is not a ton of complexity here, but the 2017 makes up for that with its creamy, inviting personality. Hints of orange peel and white flowers linger nicely on the close. 90 The 2017 Chablis Les Vaucopins 1er Cru is bright, precise and lifted. Floral, citrus and spice notes are nicely delineated. There is good energy and resonance here, but ultimately, the Vaucopins feels a bit compact, especially in the mid-palate. 89 The 2017 Chablis Les Blanchots Grand Cru is soft, precise and understated.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

  • Pascal Clement Gevrey-Chambertin
    MAISON PASCAL CLEMENT GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN “LES EVOCELLES” 2015 PASCAL CLEMENT || Pascal Clement was born in the village of Savigny-les-Beaune to a family of growers, where his father founded the Maison in 1950. After over 20 years as a grower and winemaker in the region – including his time at legendary Domaine Coche-Dury in Meursault - he launched his own micro-négoçiant project in 2012. The wines live in a stunning building built in 1850 with a splendid arched cellar, housing 200 barrels. Pascal works with fifteen farmers / vineyard owners with vineyard holdings across Burgundy, personally selecting and tending the plots he chooses to work with. Pascal’s winemaking philosophy is very non-interventional. All the wines are fermented with native yeasts and undergo malolactic naturally (depending on vintage). In 2016, a “salty” year, the whites all completed malo while in 2015, Pascal chose to halt malolactic. The wines rest in barrel with no lees stirring/ bâtonnage. For reds, Pascal prefers Rousseau barrels and whites are in Damy, Billon, and François Frères. Recently, Pascal started moving to larger 500L casks for aging, finding better balance of wood to wine compared to the 225L Burgundy barrels he had been using. GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN “LES EVOCELLES” 2015 || BLEND | 100% Pinot Noir VINEYARDS | Les Evocelles is located high up the hill at the northwesterly-most point in Gevrey-Chambertin, surrounded by Premier Cru vineyards (Champeaux and Combe aux Moines). Some speculate it was overlooked for classification due to its elevation at 400 meters. Vines face south/southeast on shallow calcerous soils. WINEMAKING | Aged 18 months in French oak.
