Village Monthélie from Annick Parent — honest, food-demanding Pinot Noir at modest Burgundy pricing. Cherry, iron, dried herbs and earthy mineral; medium-bodied with firm tannins and a rustic Côte de Beaune character.

The wine's earthy mineral and dark-cherry character work well with the Mediterranean character of Provençal braised beef.
