Domaine Philippe Bouzereau Monthelie 1.Cru Les Duresses Rouge 2022

Domaine Philippe Bouzereau Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses Rouge 2022 is a classic, elegant and authentic Burgundy red wine from the traditional commune of Monthélie , located between Volnay and Meursault in the Côte de Beaune. The wine comes from the Premier Cru vineyard “Les Duresses” , which is known for its steep location and calcareous clay soil, which produces wines with both finesse and structure.

At Domaine Philippe Bouzereau – a family-owned winery based in Meursault – they work with great respect for nature and the terroir. The Bouzereau family has been growing wine for generations, and the wines from here are characterized by their precision, balance and pure expression of the Pinot Noir grape.

This vintage, 2022 , is made from 100% Pinot Noir from old vines that produce low yields and concentrated flavors. The grapes are hand-harvested, partially destemmed, and fermented naturally with minimal intervention. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels (approximately 12 months, 20–25% new barrels) to achieve complexity and roundness without dominating the fruit.

In the glass, the wine has a clear ruby ​​red color and an elegant aroma of red berries such as cherries, raspberries and currants , complemented by discreet notes of violet, forest floor and a touch of vanilla and toasted oak .

The palate is delicate, juicy and structured , with a fine minerality and silky tannins. The finish is long and fresh , with slightly spicy nuances and a beautiful balance between fruit and acidity – a clear sign of the classic Burgundy style.
