The vineyard lies close to Volnay, with the site positioned near the renowned Clos des Chênes and planted on classic clay-limestone soils. This location helps give the wine a style that balances delicate perfume and supple red fruit with structure and mineral definition. Girardin’s approach emphasises freshness and finesse, allowing the character of both Pinot Noir and the vineyard to remain clear. The 2023 vintage presents a polished expression of Monthélie with both immediate aromatic appeal and enough structure for further development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, joined by floral violet notes, gentle spice and subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, the fruit remains vibrant and finely defined, supported by silky tannins and bright acidity rather than overt weight. Crushed-stone minerality, savoury earth and restrained oak spice add detail through the mid-palate. The overall impression is poised and elegant, reflecting the lighter-footed yet structured character for which Monthélie can be known. A long, fresh finish makes this particularly well suited to duck, roast poultry, pork, mushrooms and other savoury dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fragrant, red-fruited and floral\u003cbr\u003eRed cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry with violet, gentle spice and subtle forest-floor notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Silky, fresh and finely structured\u003cbr\u003eBright red fruit supported by fine tannins, lively acidity, subtle earthy complexity and restrained oak spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, elegant and mineral\u003cbr\u003ePersistent red fruit, savoury spice and crushed-stone nuances carry through a fresh, refined conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Vincent Girardin\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Monthélie\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Premier Cru\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Vincent Girardin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44508518056023,"sku":"VIN-GIR-MONT-SLV-23","price":129.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/4bdf0585-0194-4cca-a56a-e7caa8d76443.webp?v=1792493863","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-vincent-girardin-monthelie-1er-cru-sur-la-velle-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
