Domaine Roux, Monthélie Rouge Les Toisières, 2022

Domaine Roux’s Monthélie Rouge Les Toisières 2022 is a fine example of why Monthélie has become such a favorite among Burgundy lovers: it offers the finesse and charm of a more sought-after neighbor like Volnay, but at a far friendlier price. Sourced from the Les Toisières site, right beside Monthélie’s Premier Cru holdings, this Pinot Noir captures the commune’s signature elegance, juiciness, and understated depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, inviting ruby color typical of young Burgundy. The nose combines floral lift with crunchy red berries, darker juicy fruit, and a distinct earthy note reminiscent of autumn leaves, forest floor, and gentle spice. On the palate, the wine is silkily textured and lively, with mouthwatering freshness and a graceful, light-footed style. Red and dark berry flavors unfold with subtle savory complexity, while the finish stays refined and poised. It should drink beautifully over the next few years, with the potential to gain added nuance as the fruit softens and the earthy tones become more prominent.

Production
Les Toisières is a well-placed Monthélie vineyard site sitting close to the commune’s Premier Cru zone, giving the Roux brothers access to grapes that naturally combine elegance and generosity. The terroir reflects Monthélie’s prized position between Meursault and Volnay, where limestone-influenced soils and a favorable slope help Pinot Noir ripen with balance and freshness. Detailed harvesting and vinification information is not provided, but the wine clearly aims for a classic Burgundy expression focused on delicacy, purity, and site character.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine at around 14°C in large Burgundy glasses to let its ароматics and texture fully open up. It pairs especially well with light poultry such as roast chicken, guinea fowl, or turkey, and would also suit mushroom-based dishes or subtly seasoned veal. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help it show its floral and berry-driven aromatics more clearly.

Producer
Domaine Roux is a family name with deep roots in Burgundy, and the Roux brothers have earned a reputation for selecting terroirs that deliver classic regional character with strong value. Their work in Monthélie highlights the commune’s growing appeal among Burgundy producers, especially in sites with Premier Cru-level promise. By focusing on vineyards like Les Toisières, Domaine Roux continues to build wines that reflect both local identity and the finesse Burgundy collectors appreciate.
