Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Lafon's 2018 Monthélie Les Duresses has turned out very well, bursting with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, peonies and a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with melting tannins and a generous core of succulent fruit.
