Description to Monthelie AOC
Appellation named after the commune of the same name for red and white wines in the Côte de Beaune part of the Côte d'Or in Burgundy, France. It borders the commune of Meursault. An alternative appellation exclusively for red wines is Monthélie-Côte de Beaune. The vineyards cover 125 hectares of vines on gravelly limestone overlaid with red clay and marl. The writer Pierre Poupon wrote in his book "The Wines of Burgundy": "Beautifully nestled in the curve of the hill like the head of St. John against the shoulder of Jesus, Monthélie resembles a village in Tuscany".
The red grapes cover 110 hectares, 35 of which are classified as Premier Cru. The red wines are produced from Pinot Noir with a maximum of 15% Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. The white varieties cover 15 hectares, 2 of which are classified as Premier Cru. They are produced from Chardonnay and max. 15% Pinot Blanc. There are no Grands Crus, the 15 Premiers Crus are Clos des Toisières, La Taupine, Le Cas Rougeot, Le Château Gaillard, Le Clos Gauthey, Le Clou des Chênes, Le Meix Bataille, Le Village, Les Barbières, Les Champs Fulliots, Les Clous, Les Duresses, Les Riottes, Les Vignes Rondes and Sur la Velle.
