Domaine Xavier Monnot is a 42 acre estate in Meursault with vineyards stretching from Beaune to Maranges. 60% of the Domaine’s production is white and 40% red with several premier crus in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Volnay, and Maranges. Xavier believes in maintaining an average vine age of 30 to 40 years and practices lutte raisonnée (“reasoned struggle”).
Bourgogne Pinot Noir has a deep purple color. The bouquet is open and generous, quite stocky for a Bourgogne Rouge with blackcurrant and bilberry scents. The palate is chewy on the entry with good acidity, quite firm tannins and a solid finish that you would think might be a village cru.
