"A brooding nose grudgingly offers up an array of various dark berries and pungent newly turned earth scents. The rich, concentrated and velvet-textured middleweight flavors possess evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the balanced, youthfully austere and age-worthy finish. Worth a look." -Allen Meadows

"The 2022 Monthélie Les Duresses, 100% de-stemmed, has a refined and pure bouquet with blueberry and light iodine aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, crisp and fresh, slightly brittle on the finish but with plenty of freshness. Drink over the next decade." -Neal Martin

"Bursting with aromas of cherries, dark berries and petals, the 2022 Monthélie Les Duresses is medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, its succulent core of fruit framed by supple tannins." -William Kelley
