Description
Monthélie sits quietly between Meursault and Volnay, sharing their exposures and, increasingly, their quality, without yet sharing their prices. Les Vignes Rondes comes from the Volnay-facing edge of the appellation, near Clos des Chênes, and Paul and Margaux Dujardin work it with a portion of whole bunch fruit and restrained new oak. The result is pure rather than rustic: ripe raspberry and strawberry, real perfume, a peppery lift on the finish. William Kelley has called the domaine’s style “fine and elegant, emphasizing perfume and purity of fruit,” and named it an address to watch.
Drink 2027 to 2034.
