Monthelie 2018
Voluptuous
Chardonnay
SKU: JBCHTH1876
Monthélie is one of the smallest appellations in the Côte de Beaune, with a mere 120 ha of planted vines, including its minuscule 7.5 ha production of Chardonnay. The altitude is around 280 metres, with steep slopes and a south-easterly exposure which give the grapes excellent maturity year after year. The ground here is so-called ‘white' soil with a low limestone content, bestowing refinement and subtlety on the wine. Our supply comes from plots located at the top of the hill.
The color is pale yellow and the nose will seduce you with its aromas of hazelnuts, citrus, associated with toasted notes and on the palate, tension and richness combine to offer a beautiful balance.
