Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet Porcheret Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Burgundy, 2019, France, , 750ml

The domaine dates back 300 years and was ran by Mr. & Mrs. Monthelie. The domain extended over the vineyards of Monthelie, Pommard, Volnay and Meursault. The estate was inherited by two sisters Armande and Charlotte Douhairet which they decided to seperate when Charlotte sold her share of the estate. Armande then joined forces with Andre Porcheret, her adopted son. In parallel with the development of the estate with Armande, Andre was the manager at the Hospice de Beaune from 1976-1988. Andre is a very talented and well regarded figure in the Burgundy area. He was called upon by Lalou Bize-Leroy (co-manager of Romanee-Conti) to take on his personal vineyard to ensure its conversion to Biodynamics. In 2004, Andre was joined by his granddaughter where he passed on his knowledge and vineyard know how.
