Monthélie red 2015 - Château de Monthélie - Eric de Suremain
Produced in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, this Monthélie 2015 from Château de Monthélie, under the direction of Éric de Suremain, perfectly illustrates the elegance and authentic character of the Pinot Noir of this discreet village but much appreciated by Burgundy lovers. The 2015 vintage, sunny and generous, gives the wine a beautiful maturity while retaining the balance and finesse specific to the appellation.
The colour is a deep ruby with slightly tiled reflections, a sign of a harmonious evolution. The nose is expressive and complex, revealing aromas of black cherry, ripe raspberry and plum, accompanied by notes of spices, undergrowth and light leather, typical of a mature Pinot Noir. On the palate, the attack is supple and velvety, supported by melted tannins and a beautiful freshness that balances the richness of the vintage. The finish, elegant and persistent, reveals delicate spicy and slightly woody nuances.
Now perfectly ripe, this Monthélie will ideally accompany roast meats, duck, veal, poultry or mature cheeses.

Characteristics of the wines
The red Monthélie has a beautiful ruby colour. Its aromas express small red and black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant), sometimes floral notes (violet, peony), oriented with age on the undergrowth, fern and spices. Firm and velvety, its flesh rests on fine tannins. He shares with Volnay the image of a feminine wine.
The white Monthélie is a close cousin of the Meursault, with a beautiful golden colour. With vanilla accents, it evokes white flowers (hawthorn), Reinette apple, fresh hazelnut. Its palate offers a mellow flavour enhanced by the necessary acidity that is the hallmark of great white wines.
Sommelier's tip
Red: velvety and quite firm, its tannins should be accompanied by fairly round meats in the mouth, why not with some crispy impressions: roast poultry, in the thigh as well as in the fillet, roast lamb, rabbit. Roasted offal, such as sweetbreads, liver or grilled andouillettes will appreciate the firmness of Monthélie, meat pies will also enjoy this pairing. For the cheese, Brillat-Savarin, Brie, Reblochon.
Serving temperature: 15 °C.
White: its mellow and ample flavour will be filled by "al dente" shrimps, just seared, and fish tagines, whose multiple textures will echo that of the wine, supple and lively at the same time. It goes well with blue cheeses: Roquefort, Bleu de Bresse or Auvergne, but also with Époisses and Livarot.
Serving temperature: 12 °C.
Situation
On the balcony of the first reliefs of the Côte de Beaune, Monthélie (known as Month'lie) is located between Volnay and Meursault.
"Picturesquely nestled against the curve of the hill like the head of Saint John in the hollow of Christ's shoulder, Monthélie resembles a village in Tuscany," writes Pierre Poupon.
Sloping and constricted, rich in a castle, old houses and good cellars, this beautiful village was for a long time placed under the authority of the Abbey of Cluny.
"A hen dies of hunger during the harvest", says the proverb: the vine has always filled the landscape. Today, the personality of its wines is fully asserted. The AOC was established in 1937.
Terroirs
Facing south and south-east, born of Bathonian gravelly limestone covered with red clay and marl, the vines of Monthélie extend over the "Volnay hillside" as well as in the Auxey-Duresses valley with Aargau limestone and an eastern or western exposure depending on the slopes (between 230 and 370 metres above sea level).
