Domaine Jean Monnier Meursault Rouge Les Malpoiriers 2018

Domaine Jean Monnier Meursault Rouge Les Malpoiriers 2018 is a rare red expression from one of Burgundy’s most respected villages, better known for its whites. Made from Pinot Noir in the small Les Malpoiriers parcel, it offers a refined, terroir-driven style that stands out for its scarcity and charm. Coming from one of Burgundy’s oldest estates, it brings a sense of history as well as finesse to the glass.

Tasting Notes
Pale to medium ruby in the glass, this vintage shows an elegant, inviting profile. The nose is layered with ripe red cherries, dried flowers, a touch of forest floor, and subtle spice from oak. On the palate, it is silky and balanced, with juicy red fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a distinct Meursault minerality that adds freshness and length. The 2018 vintage gives the wine a generous, warm character, and while it is already enjoyable now, it should continue to develop gracefully over the next 5–7 years.

Production
The wine comes from Les Malpoiriers, a small parcel in Meursault where the terroir lends Pinot Noir its characteristic elegance and mineral tension. The vineyard’s position and Burgundy’s classic limestone-rich soils help preserve freshness while allowing ripe fruit expression in warmer vintages like 2018. Harvesting and vinification details are not provided, but the style suggests careful parcel selection and a restrained approach to preserve purity and finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast poultry, duck breast, mushroom dishes, veal, and lightly gamey preparations such as quail or rabbit. It also works well with earthy vegetarian dishes and soft, creamy cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and a short decant of 20–30 minutes is recommended if opened young to let the aromatics unfold.

Producer
Domaine Jean Monnier is one of Meursault’s historic family domaines, with roots that place it among the village’s long-established names. The estate is respected for its traditional Burgundy style and for showcasing the nuance of Meursault across both white and rare red wines. While exact awards or specific achievements are not detailed here, its reputation rests on consistency, heritage, and a strong sense of place.
