Description

This monopole was first planted in 1110 by the monks of Cîteaux. The wine remains one of the most intriguing whites in Burgundy. It’s always very taut, especially in youth, but with age it evolves into an extraordinarily aromatic wine. The young and old vines are harvested apart. There’s more volume to the mid-palate this year. Drink 2025-2038.
