Description
What kind of wine it is
The Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses from Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a still red wine with a structured texture. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant ruby red colour that anticipates a fragrant aromatic profile. On the nose, clear aromas of cherry, raspberry and violet emerge, intertwined with a subtle mineral spiciness. The palate is refined and energetic, characterised by taut and elegant tannins. The drink is supported by a vibrant freshness; it is recommended to allow about an hour of aeration for the wine to fully express itself.
