Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret
Named for the 300-year-old Southern Burgundy village in which it is located, Monthelie Douhairet was run by the Douhairet family for many years. In 1989, Madame Douhairet asked renowned winemaker André Porcheret to take charge and added his name to the domaine. |

One of the great figures in Burgundy during the past half-century, Porcheret was the cellar manager at the Hospices de Beaune from 1976–1988, before he was hired by Lalou Bize Leroy to make wines at the newly created Domaine Leroy from 1988–1993. He returned to the Hospices de Beaune from 1994–1999, and since 1989, he has been overseeing Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret’s appellations of Pommard, Volnay, and Monthelie. |
|
Today, together with his granddaughter, Cataldina Lippo, Porcheret produces wines that are classic, elegant and true to their terroirs, with impressive textures, tension and bright flavors. |
