2024, Domaine Henri Magnien, CÔ9TE DE NUITS-VILLAGES, 'Clos F. Thurot', Monopole

.50 ha monopole that is planted in a north to south orientation

A fresh and bright nose freely offers up its aromas of mostly red berries and discreet spice wisps. There is excellent intensity to the well-detailed lighter weight flavours that exude an almost pungent minerality on the clean, youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. This could easily be enjoyed young or with 3 to 5 years of keeping.
88-90 Allen Meadows, Burghound.

The 2024 Fixin Queue de Hareng Clos François Thurot Monopole, hitherto Côte de Nuits-Villages until the reclassification, offers light red cherries and crushed strawberry on the nose, just a touch of orange pith in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sweet entry in context of the vintage, softish tannins rounded with a touch of cassis and violet on the finish. This will be tempting in its youth. 2027-2034.
89 Neal Martin, Vinous.

The pinker side of ruby, with a very perfumed bouquet, floral, roses, good tension, only just enough fruit through the middle. A touch of youthful bitters, before the raspberry fruit returns behind.
