Hand-harvested Chardonnay from the Premier Cru Les Grands-Champs vineyard in Auxey-Duresses. Fermented and aged in French oak, one quarter of it new, with full malolactic conversion and extended lees contact. The 2023 vintage was made in a classic, low-intervention Burgundian style to highlight purity and minerality while barrel aging adds gentle texture and roundness.
Located in Monthélie, between the renowned appellations of Volnay & Meursault, Domaine Dubuet-Monthelie upholds a rich tradition of Burgundy winemaking. For the past 200 years and six generations, the Dubuet family has been producing Villages and Premier Crus wines that are renowned for their elegance, refined structure, vibrant fruit, and nuanced expression of their terroirs.
Located in the often-understated village of Monthélie in the Côte de Beaune region, Domaine Dubuet-Monthélie is a family-run estate that stands as a historical yet very dynamic producer within the region.
Overshadowed by its more famous neighboring appellations Volnay and Meursault, the village of Monthélie often slips under the radar, but the estate's focus and emphasis on terroir-driven wines has played a crucial role in elevating the reputation of this lesser-known appellation, putting the village at the center of many conversations on Burgundy's hidden gems. While Monthélie may not yet have the acclaim of neighboring Volnay and Meursault, the estate's dedication to terroir-driven wines is playing a key role in enhancing the village's reputation.
Under the stewardship of David Dubuet, the domaine has expanded across 8 hectares, with vineyard holdings not only in Monthélie but also in nearby appellations such as Auxey-Duresses and Volnay. David's approach merges the respect for Burgundian tradition with a thoughtful integration of modern techniques, resulting in wines that are a pure expression of each vineyard's unique identity.
By championing the distinctiveness of Monthélie, Domaine Dubuet-Monthélie plays a key role in putting this overlooked appellation on the map.
