Bourgogne “Montre Cul” rouge AOC 2022

Wine description for Bourgogne “Montre Cul” rouge AOC 2022 by Charlopin Tissier

Character

An unpretentious Burgundy with a wink – the name “Montre Cul” (roughly: “show your backside”) alone reveals that these are winemakers who don’t take themselves too seriously. Yet behind the playfulness lies a serious, meticulously crafted wine that draws the very best from the regional Bourgogne appellation. The vintage 2022 brought warm, dry conditions to Burgundy – the wines display corresponding ripeness and accessibility, whilst retaining their characteristic finesse.

Terroir & Origin

As a Bourgogne AOC, this wine emerges from Burgundy’s broad regional foundation – that landscape which, more than any other, has shaped the concept of terroir. Although it makes no claim to the prestigious vineyard sites of the Côte d’Or, it nonetheless reflects the Burgundian spirit: the conviction that origin and soil should be perceptible in every glass. The warm and dry vintage of 2022 ensured an early harvest with well-developed fruit ripeness alongside a moderate alcohol content of 13.0% vol.

Grape Variety & Winemaking

The Pinot Noir is the soul of Burgundy – a grape variety as delicate as it is expressive, demanding uncompromising care in both vineyard and cellar. The Charlopin Tissier estate stands for a precise, respectful approach to this demanding variety. The winemaking aims for freshness, transparency and drinkability – typical of a Bourgogne rouge that invites enjoyment rather than contemplation. Vinified dry, with a vibrant structure and the characteristic silky tannins of Pinot Noir.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This approachable Burgundy is a versatile companion at table. It harmonises beautifully with Coq au Vin, grilled salmon or a classic Bœuf Bourguignon. It also shines alongside charcuterie, mushroom dishes or a mature Époisses. Those who enjoy it on its own – lightly chilled, in the proper glass – will understand why Burgundy has captivated the world of wine lovers for centuries.
