Domaine Belleville, Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses Rouge 2023

Get to know: Domaine Belleville Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses Rouge 2023

A refined Burgundy Pinot Noir wine from the esteemed Monthélie 1er Cru “Les Duresses” in the Côte de Beaune.

Tasting Note

Domaine Belleville Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses Rouge 2023 is an elegant red Burgundy that marries freshness with poised complexity. Brilliant ruby in colour with a fragrant bouquet of ripe red berries, wild cherry, blackberry and subtle earthy notes typical of fine Pinot Noir. On the palate, it’s medium‑bodied with juicy red fruit and touches of spice and forest floor, framed by fine tannins and refreshing acidity that carry through to a lingering, savoury finish. A beautifully shaped Burgundy Pinot Noir that’s both expressive and true to its premier cru terroir.

Top food pairings:

  • Herb‑crusted rack of lamb with rosemary
  • Slow‑roasted beef with glazed root vegetables
  • Mature Comté or Époisses with crusty bread
Kate Says

"This is the kind of red Burgundy that rewards a bit of patience – the fruit is vibrant now, but give it a little time in the glass (or cellar) and you’ll be rewarded with floral whispers and layers of complexity."
