2011 Florent Garaudet Monthelie - intense nose. Wild berry. Earthy. Damson. Striking nose. Sweet fruit and very alive in the mouth. So pretty. — 12 years ago

Cleaner and more delicate than I expected. One of the most elegant Monthelie wines I've come across -- bright raspberry, floral, and herbal. — 11 years ago
Old vines. Exceptional terroir. Monthelie village despite it being his BEST wine. Made like a Grand Cru. 30 hl/ha. Raised in rare new oak and only one in Burgundy to have it. Bottled, labeled and corked by hand. No fining and filtration. Serious layered aromas. Tiny concentrated fruits. Super powerful. Like a high end 1er Cru from Volnay and Pommard. Stunning. Long long long long. The ultimate ringer in a tasting. — 12 years ago
great sunny pinot. Better than our Monthelie — 11 years ago
I import this and am a HUGE fan so take with appropriate grains of salt. This is my Coche-Dury in waiting. He doesn't have as good terroir but it's all there and reminds me of the Meursault master. Opulent, with beautifully integrated oak, wonderful wet earth on the nose after 15-20 minutes and just a crazy complex palate with perfect balance and length. Really an incredible wine and CRUSHES Lafon Monthelie Blanc which is between 53-70 a bottle. This was 34.99. — 11 years ago
