Distinctly more lemon-limey and stony on the nose Monthélie Les Duresses, with a tangy hint of orange and an element of leesy complexity. A supple, ripe, fruit bomb on the palate, offering a silky mouthfeel and a suggestion of banana. Best today on the broad, dense, firm finish, which delivers a subtle hazelnutty quality and lovely subtle salty minerality.
