Jasper Morris, 

"The reds came through the frost better. All destemmed, with a short cuvaison so as not to extract what was not there. Light ruby, with a very pleasing nose, fresh strawberry fruit. This kicks on through very nicely. I like this a lot. Ready to bottle. An utterly delicious lightweight Monthelie for early drinking.11.75% alcohol! Drink from 2024-2026." 

Burghound, 

"Note: from Les Gamets et Jouènes; no whole clusters Pretty, cool and airy aromas include those of red and dark pinot fruit, violet and a smoky hint. The delicious and very punchy lighter weight flavors conclude in a chiseled, lightly stony and mildly dusty finale. This is built on its decidedly crunchy fruit and a wine that could easily be enjoyed young or held for 2 to 3 years first in the hopes that better depth will develop." 

Wine Advocate, 

"Notes of sweet red berries, spices and petals preface the 2021 Monthélie Village, a medium-bodied, satiny and supple red that's bright and melting. It was vinified with some 50% whole bunches, and the result is nicely integrated." 

From the Importer: 

"One of the rare red wines to emerge from the Roulot cellars, the Monthelie comes from two parcels of roughly 40-year-old vines situated between the villages of Monthelie and Auxey-Duresses. The fruit is entirely destemmed before a fermentation lasting twelve days, then one year aging in barrels with a small percentage of new oak. As with the domaine's whites, there is beautiful purity and restraint, with low extraction and lovely aromatic finesse. With floral notes and bright red fruit, it is elegant enough to be enjoyed now, but can also be cellared for several years."
