If you drive south out of Beaune on the D973 you very soon pass through the famous wine villages of Pommard and Volnay and then arrive at Meursault on the left side of the road and Monthélie on the right.
The Monthélie vineyards are, in fact, very close to some of the finest vineyards of Volnay! It is definitely an appellation to watch. The soils are excellent, the exposure good and the proximity to the other fine appellations means that great wines are possible here.
This is a very fresh and lively wine with good tannin structure, lively acidity and flavours of cherries and red berries.
If you are looking for a wine from an emerging and exciting appellation then you should give this one a try! – Suppliers notes
