Monthelie 1er Cru Les Champs Fulliots AOC 2023 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Monthelie 1er Cru Les Champs Fulliots AOC 2023 1500ml Magnum by Rémi Jobard

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with greenish reflections that underscore the youthfulness of this 2023. In magnum format, the wine presents itself with particular brilliance and clarity.

Nose

Precise and multi-layered: white flowers, lemon zest and green apple dominate initially, before hazelnut and a fine minerality unfold. Subtle oak notes blend in harmoniously, never taking centre stage – exactly as Rémi Jobard intends.

Palate

Taut and focused with lively acidity that lends the wine tension and length. Stone fruit and white peaches meet chalk-stone minerality. The texture is silky, yet never heavy – a masterclass in Burgundian elegance. The magnum format promises a particularly harmonious development.

Finish

Long and saline-mineral with a lingering echo of citrus fruits and fine spice. The freshness persists right to the end.

Terroir & Origin

Les Champs Fulliots lies in the hills of Monthelie, an often underestimated appellation between Volnay and Meursault. The limestone soils impart their characteristic minerality and freshness to the wines.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Chardonnay, aged over two winters in barrel – only 20% new oak, increasingly in Stockinger demi-muids (600l). No filtration. This minimalist cellar technique allows the terroir to speak and preserves the wine’s natural complexity.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Scallops with butter, lobster, Poulet de Bresse with cream sauce, Comté or Beaufort. Also an excellent choice with turbot or calf’s sweetbreads.

Special Features

From a winemaking family with roots dating back to the 16th century. The magnum format is ideal for special occasions and guarantees slower, more harmonious maturation. Rémi Jobard’s consistently purist philosophy – meticulous vineyard work, minimal intervention in the cellar – shines through in every sip.
