Origins
The vineyard landscape is shaped by a combe that supports vines on its two slopes and in its alluvial cone. On the Auxey-Duresses hillside, the white, slightly chalky soils are composed of Argovian marl. They face east and are mainly used to produce red wines. The red soils of the Volnay hillside are marked by iron oxide and have a more variable east-south orientation. The alluvial cone, which accounts for 75% of the Monthelie appellation's production, is made up of scree that is also well-suited to wine-growing (altitude between 230 and 370 metres).
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2022
The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.
Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.
A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
