Monthélie 1er Cru Les Champs Fulliot Rémi Jobard (Domaine) 2023

Located on the Côte de Beaune between Volnay and Meursault, Monthélie is often overshadowed by its more illustrious neighbours, yet it is home to several high?quality terroirs that produce elegant and expressive wines. The Les Champs Fulliot climat rests on limestone soils with a mix of fine clays, which ensure good water retention and promote slow, balanced ripening. The estate was certified as organic in 2011; Rémi Jobard carries out meticulous work there, involving hand-harvests, slow pressing in whole bunches and spontaneous fermentation in old barrels. The fermentation process is brought to an end with ageing for 12 months in barrels and a period in stainless steel vats before bottling.
The wine has a pale, bright yellow colour with flashes of gold. The nose is fine and expressive with aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits zest and ripe pear with subtle chalky and buttery notes. The balanced and dynamic palate reveals a beautiful saline richness, carried by a crisp acidity.
