About This Vineyard
If you want to visit Eric de Suremain at Chateau de Monthelie, you will have to find him in the vineyards. He’s not the formal type of guy who hangs out at tastings and worries about wine ratings. Eric is all about his vines and his terroir which he farms organically, and it shows in his wines which are luminous and sumptuous. Monthelie is a little hamlet. It straddles the borders of Volnay and Meursault on hillside vineyards that get excellent exposure to the all important ripening sun. Stylistically, the wines are perfumed and open like Volnay but perhaps without the precision found in Volnay’s best sites.
