“A delightful balance of freshness and acidity, yet complex and smooth”
“With its aromas of black fruit, spices, smoke, and plum, the 2021 Monthélie 1er Cru Les Duresses is medium-bodied to full-bodied, rich and lively, with a rather powerful and deep profile. Like its commune-level counterpart, this is a wine of great quality, though it will require a bit of patience. ” (Wine Advocate 2023)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
From Cazetiers to Bouzeron, this major Beaune-based wine merchant, founded in 1731, owns more than 142 plots spanning 130 hectares of vineyards, including 73 hectares of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. This first-rate wine-growing heritage allows Frédéric Weber, a talented winemaker previously in charge of Château de Poncié, to produce approximately 600,000 bottles out of the total three million units produced here each year, with the majority of production coming from purchased grapes for the grand reds and from carefully selected musts for the whites other than those from the estate. Impressive success with both whites and reds in recent vintages.

About the wine:
The Monthélie Les Duresses 1er Cru 2021 comes from a 1.8-hectare south-facing hillside, one of the last to be harvested. On the nose, aromas of wild strawberry and cranberry with a hint of dried rose petals. The palate is supple and fresh, with lovely acidity. This wine has much more complexity and nuance than the Village, with a palpable minerality on the finish. Well worth discovering.
