A graceful expression of Monthelie 2021 from Domaine Pierre Morey, this red offers pure, bright cherry and crushed strawberry aromas complemented by soft violet lift. The palate is elegantly poised with sappy red fruit and a gentle sinewy tannic thread, imparting youthful charm and clarity. Served with poise now or allowed a few years to mellow.
