Monthelie Douhairet-Porcheret Bourgogne Rouge 2019

WOW! Born from a tiny parcel in Volnay, this Bourgogne delivers a "wolf in sheep clothing" type of experience. We love the 2019s at any classification, perhaps especially at the unassuming Bourgogne level, because it delivers such bang-for-the-buck.

The lineage here is quite notable as well, as the legendary Andre Porcheret was called on to work on this project after years of making some of Domaine Leroy's most legendary wines in the 90s that now trade for 10s of thousands of dollars a bottle. Andre also made the wines at the Hospices de Beaune for years before he joined up with this Domaine. Today the wines are made by Andre's granddaughter, a winemaker of equal skill and attention to detail, and you can taste it in the bottle. Pure cherry, baking spices and sweet earth aromas lead to deeper raspberry, cherry coulis and fine herb nuanced flavors. Well judged and flat out delicious.

Only a few hundred cases are made in any given vintage and when a low-yielding, but incredibly high-quality vintage like 2019 comes around, this is a wine to hoard.
