The 2023 Domaine Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Rouge is a vibrant and approachable Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Beaune’s highly regarded family estates. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across Burgundy, this wine showcases the purity, freshness and elegance that define the region, offering an excellent introduction to the Xavier Monnot style.
The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry alongside subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively acidity, fine tannins and fresh red berry flavours. The texture is smooth and balanced, leading to a clean, supple finish with gentle savoury complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday Burgundy for those who enjoy fresh, fruit-driven Pinot Noir with classic regional character. Its versatility makes it an excellent match for roast chicken, duck, charcuterie, grilled salmon or mushroom dishes. Best enjoyed over the next 3–6 years while its vibrant fruit and freshness remain at their peak.
