Monthelie 1er Cru Les Champs Fulliots AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

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

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with greenish reflections, crystal clear in the glass. The magnum bottle promises slower, more harmonious maturation than the standard bottle.

Nose

Precise and restrained elegance. White flowers, citrus fruits and green apple dominate, underpinned by fine mineral notes. With air contact, nuances of hazelnut and brioche develop, yet the oak remains discreet in the background – exactly as Rémi Jobard intends.

Palate

Taut and focused with vibrant acidity that lends the wine tension and length. Stone fruit and lemon zest meet a saline minerality that characterises Les Champs Fulliots. The texture is creamy, yet never heavy – a testament to the long barrel ageing and the absence of filtration. Despite 13% alcohol, the wine feels lean and light-footed.

Finish

Long and precise with persistent minerality and a refreshing citrus note. The aftertaste is pure and clean, without any heaviness.

Terroir & Origin

Les Champs Fulliots sits on the slope between Volnay and Meursault – a privileged vineyard site that combines elegance with substance. The chalky subsoil imparts the wine’s characteristic minerality and tension.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Chardonnay. Aged over two winters in oak barrels, of which only 20% are new barriques, complemented by 600-litre Stockinger casks. This deliberately restrained oak treatment allows the terroir to take centre stage. No filtration, no fining – Rémi Jobard trusts in time and patience rather than technical intervention.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Scallops with butter, lobster, monkfish in cream sauce, poultry in cream, Comté or Beaufort – dishes that complement rather than overshadow the wine’s elegance and minerality.

Special Features

The magnum bottle is ideal for extended cellaring. Rémi Jobard works according to principles that have stood the test of generations – minimal intervention, maximum respect for terroir. A wine that embodies Burgundy’s classical virtues: precision, elegance, drinkability.
