Viniou Reviews
The Monthélie Blanc 2017, under the designation "Cuvée Domaine de la Croix Mélier," represents a refined expression from Bourgogne's esteemed Côte de Beaune region. Known for its Chardonnay grapes, this wine offers a delicate balance of subtle acidity and minerality, characteristic of the terroir's limestone-rich soils. Although classified as "demi-sec," it will present gentle sweetness with broader flavour layers. The Burgundy region, with its cool continental climate and centuries-old winemaking traditions, contributes to the wine's elegance, complexity, and finesse. Unfortunately, information on the specific estate remains elusive, suggesting it may be a lesser-known or boutique producer focusing on quality over notoriety.
For pairing, consider dishes that elevate the wine's nuanced profile. Grilled fish, particularly white fish with a touch of lemon butter or sauce, can harmonise beautifully. Creamy poultry dishes or a mushroom risotto will also complement its structure. For a regional touch, try pairing with escargot or a traditional coq au vin blanc, both of which reflect the Burgundy region's culinary heritage and amplify the wine’s intrinsic flavours.
To fully appreciate this wine, serve it at a temperature between 10-12°C. A brief carafing—about 20-30 minutes—will help to enhance its bouquet. Upon observation, expect a clear, pale golden hue. On the nose, the aroma may reveal notes of citrus, green apple, and a hint of honey or white flowers. As you taste, pay attention to how its modest sweetness merges with vibrant acidity, offering a rounded and persistent finish.
