Clos du Moulin aux Moines

Moulin aux Moines Monopole Auxey-Duresses Chardonnay 2021

9.3

Delicious. Nose has that mineral “stank” that I associate with Auxey in spades and love. Deep fruit, sidling up from the apple side of the spectrum to the peach side, along with nice wet straw notes. Hint of melted butter. On the palate it’s concentrated but nicely balanced. Nice length and intensity. Best vintage of this wine I’ve had yet. — 2 months ago

Leather and charcoal in the nose; silky smooth in taste. Plums, cherries, lychee and its characteristic pepper tingle — 4 months ago

2022 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. Medium-medium heavy body. Vineyard from the highest point in Gevrey-Chambertin. Gorgeous throughout already with surprising, back-end spice fest. Tannins slightly muted but started to creep out after a few minutes in the glass. This likes to speed and is going places. 1.30.26. — 2 months ago

Excellent invention under the right circumstances. The 9 yrs of remaining storage after use, in my experience, overstated.

Ira that makes a ton of sense you are right.

@Ira Schwartz Me too and I rarely see that source/plot.

Medium gannet and ruby color. Raspberry, strawberry, cherry, and blackberry fruits mix with a balanced acidity, black tea tannin, and cedar box/earthy terroir. Vibrant yet balanced six years in. — 5 months ago
