Monthelie Wines

A tiny commune, with a population of less than 200 people, yet making a great deal of wine, for the size of the area! The village is adjacent to Volnay, and makes light, fresh, berry fruit reds, which are attractive but lack the finesse and depth of its more famous neighbour. There are about 15 Premier Cru vineyards, which provide the best of the quality in this area.

Traditionally the area has always been known for its red wines, but with the demand for whites and neighbouring Meursault, it also produces an increasing amount of white wines – rich, buttery, and citrussy, but without the complexity and intensity of Meursault.
