Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine reveals a brilliant ruby color and a bewitching bouquet. Aromas of red berries, delicate floral notes and a touch of earthy nuances make up a seductive nose that highlights the typical Pinot Noir character. On the palate, the wine offers a remarkable balance between lively acidity and silky texture. Flavors of red fruits, subtle spices and fine minerality blend harmoniously to create a memorable tasting experience.

Vinification and Aging
For his Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Xavier Monnot selects grapes from partner winemakers on the Côte de Beaune who share his philosophy of quality. The grapes are entirely destemmed to promote an elegant, charming style of wine. After fermentation, the wine is aged in barrels, of which around 15% are new, to preserve its finesse and fruity expression.

Terroir
Domaine Xavier Monnot, located in Meursault, is one of Burgundy's emblematic producers, renowned for wines combining purity of fruit, elegance and complexity. Born of a long family tradition (formerly Domaine René Monnier), Xavier took over the reins in 2005, modernizing the domaine while preserving its heritage.
With 42 hectares of vines stretching from Beaune to Maranges, the domaine produces 60% white and 40% red wines, including several prestigious Premier Crus in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Volnay and Maranges. Xavier prefers vines that are 30 to 40 years old, and practices integrated vineyard management to preserve the natural balance of the terroirs.
