Domaine des Comtes Lafon Monthelie "Les Duresses" 1er Cru 2014

Monthelie is a tiny village right next to Volnay. "Les Duresses" is a reasonably steep vineyard above the village, facing the afternoon and setting sun. Look for special Burgs for fair prices from here. "Sexy scents of raspberry, rose petal and earth. Juicy, savory wine with real gulpability; red fruit flavors are nicely framed by harmonious acidity Finishes with firm but fine tannins and a lingering cherry note." Stephen Tanzer for Vinous.
