Xavier Monnot Monthelie Les Duresses 2017

Monthelie Les Duresses should possess a backbone of acidity and elevated fragrance thanks to its ascending location on the hill above the village.

The salty and mineral character of this wine might come across as austere to some tasters if it weren't for 12-months aging in 20% percent new small French oak barrels which lend roundness and notes of toast and vanilla.
