Monthelie Douhairet Porcheret Monthelie 1er Cru AOC Les Duresses Rouge 2014

“Les Duresses” represents the only Premier Cru site on the west side of the village of Monthelie, where it connects with the site of the same name in the semi-eponymous village of Auxey-Duresses. The Monthelie portion faces more to the east, protecting the vines from what can be a harsher afternoon sun. The resulting wines display a sophisticated delicacy. The average age of the vines of the Domaine Douhairet-Porcheret is 70 years. Expect integrated floral and refreshing bright cherry flavors with well-structured minerality that carries the fruit flavor for a long finish.
