Notes from North Berkeley Imports:

Winemaker Charles Boigelot is the fourth generation of his family to champion the terroir treasures of the Burgundy village of Monthélie. Nestled between the ruddy elegance of Volnay and the nutty intensity of Meursault, Monthélie just may be the Côte de Beaune’s best-kept secret, a source of mineral-rich whites and soulful reds in equal measure. With some 22 acres of excellent vineyards in Monthélie, Meursault and Volnay, Charles–who took over winemaking duties from his father Eric in 2022–is a young talent already making serious waves in greater Burgundy. 

A blend of exemplary Pinot Noir fruit from villages-level vineyards ‘Les Hauts Bruns,’ ‘Les Pièces Fites’ and ‘En Remagnien,’ as well as a selection of premier cru fruit from ‘Meix Bataille.’ A perfect cross-section of terroir from the family’s home village of Monthélie to craft a refined red Burgundy of purple flowers and spice.
