MONTHELIE
Monthélie is a wine appellation located in the Côte de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy, France, nestled between the renowned villages of Volnay and Meursault. Often considered a hidden gem, Monthélie offers wines that reflect classic Burgundian style with elegance, finesse, and strong value.
The region benefits from a cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils, ideal for cultivating both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyards are typically situated on slopes, allowing for good drainage and optimal sun exposure, contributing to balanced and expressive wines.
Monthélie produces both red and white wines. The reds, made from Pinot Noir, are known for their bright red fruit, floral aromas, and supple tannins, often showing a style similar to nearby Volnay. The whites, made from Chardonnay, are fresh and refined, with citrus and stone fruit notes, along with a subtle mineral character.
As an emerging appellation in Burgundy, Monthélie offers authentic, terroir-driven wines that combine approachability, elegance, and excellent value for those exploring Côte de Beaune.
