Domaine Changarnier Monthélie 1er Cru 'Meix Bataille' 2020

The fruit for Monthélie 1er Cru `Meix Batille` is sourced from a small block of 35-year-old Pinot Noir vines located on south-facing slopes at 200 metres above sea level. The soils are deep and predominantly clay and limestone, and this premier cru site is well-known for its powerful wines that have strong tannic structure and spicy notes. Deep ruby red in colour, the nose displays rich and complex aromas of black cherry, black pepper and caramel notes. The richest wine produced in Monthélie, it is similar to Pommard in style. Full-bodied on the palate with ripe black fruit and smooth tannins, culminating in a wonderfully fresh and long finish.
