Clos Marey-Monge Monopole 2011

The darkest of ruby with scarlet hints defines the brilliance of this wine. On the nose, red fruits aromas of redcurrant, black cherry and fresh roses fill the glass. A fresh, full and well-balanced mouth-feel, which flows into an endless and fine finish. A powerful and elegant wine.

The largest monopole in Burgundy, Clos Marey-Monge benefits from a unique environment protected by a two-meters-high stone wall. Positioned at the base of the hill of Pommard, the complexity of our vineyard’s soils come from the alluvial, sand and gravels carried along by the Avant-Dheune river thousand years ago.
