Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret: A Legacy of Burgundian Elegance

Nestled in the heart of Monthelie, a discreet yet storied appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret stands as a testament to centuries of winemaking tradition. Founded over 300 years ago by the Monthelie family, the estate has been shaped by generations of passionate custodians, including the visionary Armande Douhairet, affectionately known as “Miss”, who safeguarded its legacy in the 20th century. In 1989, Armande entrusted renowned winemaker André Porcheret, former cellar master of Hospices de Beaune and Domaine Leroy, to revitalize the domaine, merging his name with its heritage. Today, under the stewardship of André’s granddaughter, Cataldina Lippo, and her husband, Vincent Monfort, the estate balances ancestral wisdom with modern precision, producing wines that epitomise Burgundian finesse.

Spanning 6.5 to 13 hectares across Monthelie, Volnay, Pommard, and Meursault, the domaine’s vineyards are cultivated sustainably, certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE3), with practices such as hand harvesting and organic principles ensuring terroir transparency. The holdings include prized plots like the monopole Clos Meix Garnier, a 1.5-hectare walled vineyard yielding structured, age-worthy Pinot Noir, and parcels in Volnay’s Premier Cru Champans, renowned for their depth and mineral tension.

The winemaking philosophy honours tradition: native yeast fermentations, extended aging in neutral oak (18–22 months for reds, 16–20 months for whites), and minimal intervention. This approach yields wines of “crystalline” purity and energy, such as the Cuvée Miss Armande (a tribute to Armande Douhairet) crafted from old vines and celebrated for its silky texture and red-fruit vibrancy 58. The portfolio spans 13 appellations, 70% red and 30% white, with highlights including the Premier Cru Les Duresses (both red and white) and Grand Cru Corton Les Renardes, a rarity that underscores the estate’s ambition.

Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret’s wines are lauded for their balance of “delicacy and depth,” marrying Monthelie’s signature freshness with the power of Volnay and Pommard. With annual production capped at 50,000 bottles, each release reflects a harmonious dialogue between heritage and innovation, a legacy as timeless as Burgundy itself.

Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret：布根地 Monthelie 的世紀傳承

Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret 坐落於布根地 Côte de Beaune 的 Monthelie 產區，這座低調卻底蘊深厚的酒莊，見證了三個世紀的釀酒傳統。酒莊由 Monthelie 家族於 300 多年前創立，歷經世代傳承，20 世紀在 Armande Douhairet（暱稱「Miss」）的守護下延續命脈。1989 年，Armande 委託傳奇釀酒師 André Porcheret（曾任 Hospices de Beaune 與 Domaine Leroy 酒窖主管）重振酒莊，並將其姓氏納入酒莊名稱。如今，由 André 的孫女 Cataldina Lippo 與丈夫 Vincent Monfort 共同執掌，酒莊融合古老智慧與現代精準，釀造體現勃艮第優雅精髓的佳釀。

酒莊擁有 6.5 至 13 公頃葡萄園，分佈於 Monthelie、Volnay、Pommard 與 Meursault，全數獲得 Haute Valeur Environnementale（HVE3）高環保價值認證，以手工採摘與有機原則實踐永續種植。核心地塊包含：

Clos Meix Garnier：1.5 公頃的獨占園（Monopole），圍牆內的老藤 Pinot Noir 釀造結構嚴謹、具陳年潛力的紅酒

Volnay Premier Cru Champans：以深邃風味與礦物張力聞名的一級園

釀造哲學恪守傳統：天然酵母自發發酵、中性橡木桶長時間陳年（紅酒 18-22 個月，白酒 16-20 個月），極少人工干預。此工藝賦予酒款「水晶般」的純淨度與能量，如 Cuvée Miss Armande - 致敬 Armande Douhairet 的旗艦酒款，以老藤釀造，絲滑質地與紅果活力著稱。全系列涵蓋 13 個法定產區，70% 紅酒與 30% 白酒，亮點包含：

Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Duresses（紅、白酒款）

Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes：罕見特級園酒款，彰顯酒莊雄心

Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret 的作品以「細膩與深度並存」的平衡感聞名，融合 Monthelie 的清新特質與 Volnay、Pommard 的力道。年產量嚴格控管於 50,000 瓶，每一款都是歷史與創新的和諧對話 - 正如布根地風土本身，既永恆，又充滿生命力。
