Domaine Monthelie-Douhairet-Porcheret 'Le Meix Bataille' 1er Cru Monthélie 2022

Meix Bataille is rich and full-bodied with a chewy texture and chiseled structure. It is round and elegant with a delicate tannic backbone. With its bright, clear colour, it reveals aromas of red fruit (cherry, red currant) and black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) which evolve towards notes of truffle, leather and spice after a few years in the bottle.

From a 0.4172 hectare parcel. In the Middle Ages, `Le Meix` referred to a set of buildings located within a large agricultural holding. In the 16th century, this `meix` belonged to the Bataille family, who were members of the Burgundy parliament. One of the members of this family was Master of Château de La Rochepot, situated just a few kilometers from Monthélie, further southwest down the valley. On the edge of the first hillsides of Monthélie, south-facing and set against the picturesque backdrop of Volnay.
