A 300-year-old estate based in Monthélie, Domaine Douhairet-Porcheret boasts an impressive history. The work in the vineyard is meticulous and shows their commitment to the land; herbicides and pesticides are banned, and harvest is always done by hand.
The wines from Cataldina and Vincent walk that beautiful line between classic and modern, with high-tone fruit, a clear sense of place and energy.
From a 0.2325 hectare parcel, Les Duresses is one of the lieux-dits for which the origins of the name are still unclear. It could relate to the terroir which lends the wine a certain ‘duresse’, or hardness, due to its minerality. This Monthelie premier cru is situated opposite the others, between Volnay and the village. Les Duresses lies on the other side of the valley at the entrance to the Auxey-Duresses fault, in the continuation of Duresses in Auxey-Duresses. This Monthelie Duresses parcel is split into two parts, one of which is planted with Pinot Noir and the other with Chardonnay.
