El Carretil, Artadi, Rioja, Spain 2022 vs Monthélie Rouge, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2017

Monthélie Rouge, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2017

The 2017 Monthélie is a beautifully balanced wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, duck breast, grilled salmon, charcuterie, and mushroom-based dishes. It also works well with soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert. We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and Éric Boigelot is certainly one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you should be the strapline here...
