Mr. and Mrs. Monthelie created the Domaine more than 300 years ago. The vaulted cellars and the squirrel press bear witness to this period. Located in Monthelie, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the Domaine covers 13 hectares. It extends over the vineyards of Monthelie, Pommard, Volnay and Meursault, and is managed for a long time by the Monthelie and Douhairet families.
In the early 1970s, the two sisters Armande and Charlotte Douhairet inherited the estate and decided to separate. Armande fought to keep her share and Charlotte sold hers.
In 1989, Armande joined forces with André Porcheret, her adopted son. André will develop the estate in parallel with his role as steward at the Hospices de Beaune.
In 2004, Burgundy lost "a great lady of wine": Armande Douhairet, whom everyone called the "Miss", passed away.
That year, André Porcheret was joined by his granddaughter, to whom he passed on his know-how and values.
Today, Cataldina and Vincent, creators of good humour, passionately manage the 6.5 hectares of the estate. Their philosophy: to perpetuate the family tradition, to seek ever higher quality with the help of new and modern techniques, while respecting the environment. Beyond the search for excellence in the glass, Cataldina and Vincent are also lovers of life: for them, wine is a magic potion that makes you happy when you share it... That's why you will always be welcome at the Domaine!
ぶどう畑の所有主や借地人は、年間をとおして仕事に取り組み、テロワール/terroirの表現を守り続けています。ぶどうを育て、ワインの醸造を手がけるほか、自ら販売まで携わっている例もあります。ブルゴーニュ/Bourgogneには3,800のドメーヌがあり、うち1,300のドメーヌがワインを自ら販売しています。平均栽培面積は8haです。
ブルゴーニュ/Bourgogneにおけるネゴシアンの役割は時代とともに複雑化しています。もともとは熟成途上のワインを買い取り、熟成と販売を担っていましたが、近年はぶどうを直接買付け、醸造そのものを手がける例もみられます。これは、自ら醸造するワインの品質を完全にコントロールするためです。
ぶどう栽培家を組合員とし、協働で醸造と販売の発展に取り組んでいます。ブルゴーニュ/Bourgogneには23の協同組合があり、ワインワイン生産の16％を占めています。
