Description
This is made with as little SO2 as possible, with none used during vinification and the bare minimum during malolactic fermentation. The result is a wine that always seems to present with more open and aromatic components. There are two-thirds whole bunches this year, and the Monthélie terroir gives some chalky tannins. It’s to be enjoyed young.

Critics reviews
The 2019 Monthélie Rouge Nature has a bright red cherry bouquet. The palate is balanced with crunchy red berry fruit, quite solid in the mouth and just missing a little flesh on the finish.
Drink 2021 - 2024
Bottled in August as this is a low-sulphur cuvée, just a tiny amount was added before bottling. 50% whole cluster. Darkish crimson colour, slightly smudged soft fruit nose. Sweet cherry behind, like the linctus cough mixture of my youth. Medium-bodied, with cherry again at the finish.
Made with no sulfur additions, hence the name Nature, 66% whole clusters.
Mild reduction cannot hide the fact that the underlying fruit is definitely ripe. Otherwise, the round and velvety middle-weight flavours have an attractive texture. They conclude with a delicious and relatively easy-going finish that offers enough depth and persistence to be interesting.
Drink from 2023 onward
