Bouchard Pere & Fils 2005 Pinot Noir (Monthelie)
- $33
An opulent style, where the tannins are subservient to the ripeness of the red cherry flavor. The acidity enhances the sweetness of the rich fruit, and the lively, vibrant texture comes sweeping right through to finish.

Henri de Villamont 2007 Chardonnay (Monthelie)
- $34
A very steely of wine, crisp, with a tight, knife-edge structure that needs more time to round out. At the moment, fresh and crisp apples dominate, with flavors of green apple skins.

Xavier Monnot 2007 Les Duresses Chardonnay (Monthelie)
- Online Exclusive
- $43
A mineral-dominated wine, the fruit a whisper behind tight steeliness. The acidity contributes to the somewhat austere character, although the wood does round out the final flavor. Needs time. Imported by Robert Kacher Imports.

Pierre Morey 2007 Pinot Noir (Monthelie)
- $47
Tannins and red plums combine in this light, elegant wine. The acidity is important though, with the fruit fresh rather than warm.

Pierre Morey 2003 Pinot Noir (Monthelie)
- $33
Morey is better known for white wines, but this villages-level red is no slouch. It’s silky and medium-bodied, with baking spices layered over plum and cherry fruit. Turns a bit cedary on the finish, where tea-like tannins grab hold.

Pierre Morey 2005 Pinot Noir (Monthelie)
- $40
On the earthy, rustic side of Pinot Noir, this shows firm tannins and fresh fruit. The structure is dry and taut, the berry flavors floating over this tense base. Then some ripeness shows, with perfumed and smoky bacon flavors. Age for 4–5 years.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2007 Pinot Noir (Monthelie)
- $35
Soft, lilting wine that is gentle, ripe and ready to drink. The fruits have some sweetness, the tannins are light, and the acidity is fresh and never too intrusive.
— R.V.

Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet 1999 Clos Le Meix Garnier Monopole Red (Monthelie)
- $26
Firmly structured, with a smooth mouthfeel and a long finish, this wine needs a few years to relax its tightly wound core of black cherries. Right now, what’s showing is mostly spicy, briary notes.
— W.E.
