Tasting Notes for Monthelie 1er Cru Les Champs Fulliots AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum by Rémi Jobard

Character

An aristocratic, radiant white wine of crystal-clear purity and profound balance. In the glass, the Chardonnay reveals itself without any ostentatious oak dominance, offering instead cool fruit, a fine texture, and a striking minerality. Bottled in the magnum format, this Premier Cru enjoys the ideal environment for a slow, majestic maturation.

Terroir & Origin

Monthelie borders directly on the famous sites of Meursault and is still often considered an insider tip in Burgundy. In the Premier Cru vineyard Les Champs Fulliots, the Domaine benefits from an exceptional terroir. Rémi Jobard has worked to Ecocert-certified organic standards since the 1990s, eschewing artificial fertilisers and herbicides in favour of manual vineyard management to express the soil unadulterated in the wine.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay that reflects Rémi Jobard’s uncompromising philosophy of slowness. The grapes are pressed extremely gently over six to twelve hours to extract only the purest juice. Maturation takes place for around 15 months in large 600-litre Stockinger casks, which slows down oxygen exchange and avoids intrusive oak aromas. Thanks to two winters of rest, the wine matures to great stability without filtration.

Food Pairings

An exquisite partner for fine fish dishes such as pan-seared turbot, scallops with lemon butter, or Poulet de Bresse in cream sauce. This structured Burgundy also displays its full class alongside aged Comté.
