From a west-facing plot in lieu-dit Champs Fulliot, Coche's 2019 Monthélie unfurls to reveal aromas of wild berries, sweet spices, coniferous forest floor and petals. Medium to full-bodied, racy and precise, it's concentrated and bright, with powdery tannins and a more tightly knit profile than the domaine's other reds this year.

The 2017 Monthélie bursts with aromas of spicy red berry fruit, cherries and sweet soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with a lively core of fruit, fine-boned structure and an elegantly chalky finish.

The 2013 Monthélie Villages has a carefree and floral bouquet: wilted rose petals infusing the lucid red cherry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and fine structure. This is easy-drinking in style, but don't ignore the structure and tension here. It is less opulent than the 2013 Auxey-Duresses and yet just as nuanced.
