Monthélie

A mainly red wine-producing commune in the Côte de Beaune neighbouring Meursault, Volnay and Auxey Duresses. At its best, from arch exponents such as Eric de Suremain and Lafon, Monthelie is a characterful, medium to full bodied red Burgundy not dissimilar to a Volnay without perhaps the same depth or complexity. The best wines can give great pleasure and represent some of the best value for money red wine in the Côte d'Or.
