Monthelie 1 er cru - les vignes rondes - 2006 : Puissant , grande longueur , légèrement anisé . Excellent . — 6 years ago
Tawny in color. The nose combines bright red fruit with mellow barnyard funk. On the palate is liquid candy, big, bright, deep and perfectly balanced. Tart cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, cola with a moderate acid finish. Near or at its prime, but probably will continue to evolve nicely for another 10 years. — 7 years ago

Gorgeous and subtle nose of deep red cherries and a lipstick like intensity. Lovely deep minerals as well. Very classy. Pure and vivid. Just lovely. 19 is so good. Palate is elegant and refined with lovely sweet fruit and terrific inner mouth aromas. Wonderful elegant mouthfeel. Really tremendous freshness and vitality. Awesome fruit quality here. Really a lovey wine. So drinkable and has so much finesse. And that 19 fruit! Wonderful!
After air this gets so fragrant and pretty. Mid season red cherries, sour cherries, cranberry bog, so aromatic. Sapid and juicy now with structure arriving.
So complete after 4 hours. Wonderfully elegant. What a wine. Picks up a lovely velvety quality. — 2 years ago
Killer stuff. Nose of lemon and mineral. A bit cold out of the gates. Palate is dynamite. Precise and energetic. Rich and ample with terrific energy and spine. Great structure. This is a terrific site for red and white Monthelie. Chewy, dense and super pure. Awesome texture and so juicy.
This got much better overnight. 9.2 to 9.3. More integrated and sappy. — 4 years ago
Wow. What a great little bottle of burgundy. Nose of smoke and a hint of fresh cherry. So so so so fresh on the palate. Bright fresh cherry on the palate. So much bright acidity. A hint of balancing bitterness. What a lovely wine. Bought from Fass Selections. Better as it opens. Very nice texture. Some depth. This could have upside in two years. And to think the 15s are better ... third note. Ugh. This is not some random monthelie. After an hour it’s starting to be really good. Ugh. — 6 years ago
Great rustic glou glou burgundy. Cherry, dirt, strawberry... — 7 years ago
2022/9/6-7 with wagyu rump steak several ways, etc. This was fresher and less volatile than the bottle of 2015 I had just before it - and more reminiscent of that first, best bottle of 2019 Monthelie we had at Kamakura — 2 years ago
Complex nose, spicey oak, green apple, gorgeous minerality, terrific spice, amazing deep minerality and a stunning expansiveness. Really wonderful white burgundy symphony on the nose. Just unreal. What a nose. Tree bark, dry soil. Just stunning. Wow. Juicy, energetic, luscious, fresh, vital, elegant, complex. Wow. What a wine. Just gorgeous. Maybe best Monthelie Blanc I’ve ever had from Boussey. Explosive and wonderful. Spicey as well. A brilliant bottle. Finish is epic. — 2 years ago
Delicious Pinot and punching above its weight — 4 years ago
well, this was a score. picked up at one of my accounts off a vintage close-out rack. It still has laser acid, and has a rather unctuous palate. Over-ripe white peach with strong mineral/stone elements on the nose. ripe yellow peach, white melon, long long finish. Delicious. — 6 years ago
