Domaine Suremain Monthélie Premier Cru Sur la Velle AOC

Monthélie AOC, France

Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Monthélie's finest slope site — rustic Burgundy at its most authentic. Dark cherry, blackberry, iron mineral, forest floor and firm tannins; medium-full bodied with the earthy, food-demanding structure that makes Monthélie a sommelier's secret.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's firm structure and earthy mineral are an ideal match for the delicate but savoury character of rabbit in mustard cream.
• main: Classic Burgundian pairing: the village's honest Pinot Noir with a slowly braised chicken in the regional style.
• starter: The wine's forest-floor earthiness and dark cherry complement the intense mushroom character of the dish.
