Monthelie

The 2013 Monthélie les Duresses has a light but pure raspberry leaf and strawberry-scented bouquet that wafts gently from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a decent structure, with a sharp, pointed, tart cherry finish. What you might call a "pretty little thing."

With prices ever rising for the most famous appellations of Burgundy, it is the villages that lie just behind the front line which provide the best value. The potential of these villages has been enhanced in recent years by the higher temperatures associated with global warming One such village is Monthélie, tucked in behind Meursault and Volnay.

It shares its best vineyard, Les Duresses, with neighbouring Auxey. Les Duresses is on a steep east-facing slope that catches the morning sun. Bouchard Père and Fils, one of the grand old houses of Burgundy, was rescued from the doldrums in the 1990s by Joseph Henriot, of Champagne fame. Their veteran winemaker, Philippe Prost, keeps turning out beautiful wines, especially when aided by the sunshine of the 2009 vintage.
