Les Duresses Monthélie 1er Cru Pinot Noir

2024/9/18. Compared to the dark, brooding Lavieres, this is much more red and open-knit, which I appreciate overall. There is still some powdery tannin, with a woody stone fruit pit character, and dense fruit. There’s also a notable floral note (rose?) with the red berry and cherry on the nose. The acidity is crisp. This would definitely benefit with more time to integrate, but is more approachable than that Lavieres (or at least the bottle I had)
