Domaine René Monnier

Sort By:

Domaine René Monnier 2004 Les Folatières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Price $70

Coming from the largest of the Puligny premier crus, this is a big, bold, ripe wine. Still structured at this young stage, but generous and packed with green plum and lime flavors. The wood gives tannins but doesn’t dominate. — R.V. (12/1/2006)

points

Domaine René Monnier 2004 Charmes Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)

Price $70

There are at least four vineyards in Meursault called Charmes. Wines called Les Charmes can use fruit from both Les Charmes Dessus (above) and Les Charmes Dessous (below). This wine from René Monnier shows round, luscious fruit flavors balanced with some spicy toast and richness. The wine is ready to drink. — R.V. (12/1/2006)

Domaine René Monnier 2004 Les Chevalières Chardonnay (Meursault)

Price $45

More steely than some Meursault, this layers wood and mineral flavors with a fine structure and tastes of apple skins and nutmeg. This wine could age 3–4 years, but it is already delicious. — R.V. (12/1/2006)

points

Domaine René Monnier 2004 Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Price $50

Sweet, full-fruit flavors and elegance mark this friendly wine. The wood flavors blend effortlessly with the citrus and kiwi fruit, leaving a fresh, lifted aftertaste. The 2004 marks a good return to form after the less successful 2003s from this domaine. — R.V. (12/1/2006)
