2023 Gachot-Monot, Cote de Nuit, Villages (RT91+) From a family owned estate that lies between Beaune and Nuits-Saint-Georges comes this outstanding Villages Burgundy. Crafted from vines ranging from 40-45 years of age, this is the estate’s main appellation with 8 hectares planted on the villages of Corgoloin and Comblanchien. This is an impressive Villages bottling that embraces the magnificence of Burgundian Pinot Noir at an affordable price. Balancing perfectly ripe fruit it wafts up notes of raspberry and strawberry liqueur, beautiful dry fall forest floor, mushrooms and notes of minerality. Soft and gentle in the mouth, with bright, refreshing acidity and a medium finish. This is a terrific value in Village bottlings. Best now-2031+ Tasted June 2026 This is a Rick Thompson Wine HOT PICK!
