WINE DESCRIPTION
Nestled between Volnay, Meursault, and Auxey-Duresses, the village of Monthelie boasts a rich winemaking heritage dating back to the 9th century. Despite its charm and beautiful old houses, it often goes unnoticed by travelers rushing between Volnay and Meursault. Yet, this hidden gem holds treasures like a Romanesque church reflecting medieval Burgundy's architectural style and a castle dating back to the year 1000. Bouchard Père & Fils has established itself as a prominent winemaker in the region, cultivating three vineyards with complementary terroirs spanning 5.94 hectares. These vineyards, situated on eastern, southern, and western slopes, contribute to the diverse and complex character of Bouchard Père & Fils' Monthelie wines.
