The 2022 Domaine Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Rouge is a refined and elegant red Burgundy that offers a pure expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune. Crafted with the domaine’s focus on balance and terroir, it delivers both freshness and subtle complexity in a highly approachable style. The nose is bright and aromatic, showing red cherry, raspberry and cranberry, layered with notes of violet, light spice and gentle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky, supple texture and fine tannins. Juicy red fruit flavours are supported by lively acidity and a delicate mineral edge, leading to a smooth, balanced and appetising finish. The style is fresh, elegant and fruit-driven, emphasizing finesse and drinkability.
