Yummmm. Montrio in Monterey is rocking some great wines. This one from my buddies at balanced wine selections... stunning stuff. Lots of citrus, brimming with acidity. Mandarin orange like the little hard candied kind. Great length and way better than most villages. Sits between a couple premier crus (lechet and sechet).::: nice — 8 years ago

RATINGS
Publication: Burghound
Rating: 91
(from Fourchaume and Vaupoulent). A deft but not invisible application of wood set off ripe and fresh aromas of green fruit, pear, apple and quinine wisps. There is excellent richness and volume to the sappy, lush and textured medium weight flavors that possess both good punch and focused power, all wrapped in a clean, dry and ever-so-mildly austere finale. Lovely and a relatively elegant example of the cru. 91/2020+
Publication: Vinous
Rating: 91
Pale, bright yellow. Deeply pitched, youthfully subdued nose hints at nectarine, caraway seed and mint. The most intensely flavored of these 2014s, showing firm acidity and saline minerality for this often exotic premier cru. Offers an enticing balance of citrus and stone fruit flavors and salty lift and finishes with very good subtle length and sneaky energy. — 8 years ago

Pinot drinkers should give Beaujolais Cru some attention. This one has that cassis and funk going on. Medium bodies with smooth tart cherry finish. For only $15, it's a wine with a lot of character and depth. — 10 years ago

Lovely wine still has a few years to go, yet with a bit of air it opens up and show its lovely character. Deep red with light brawn rims, lovely rich nose, black currents, coffee, leather, cassis, chocolate and a touch of tea leaves, full body, dry round tannins,great acidity, lovely mouth filling structure, delicious finish. A truly well made wine that had benefitted for 16 years of aging. My score 90, doing better than some nice grad crus of this vintage. Drink to 2021 perhaps longer. — 9 years ago

There is a lovely roundness to the green & yellow fruit here, that kind of old barrel character, that comes through on the palate, very smoothed off edges — 10 years ago
