Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Domaine Doreau is in Monthélie, a village in the Côte de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy, 30 miles southwest of Dijon in eastern France. The small estate has been passed down from father to son since the end of the 19th Century. It all began with Pierre Doreau who came to the region to help growers replant vines destroyed by phylloxera. At the same time, he acquired a few plots of land for himself.

Over the years, sons of sons, accompanied by their wives, have assumed control of the business. Today, Jérôme and Emilie Doreau manage the vineyard and the cellar. In 2019, the six-hectare organic estate obtained High Environmental Value certification (level 3), demonstrating their respect of the environment and commitment to sustainable viticulture.

The nose is spicy. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, crunchy wild strawberry and small notes of Sichuan pepper associated with fine hints of nutmeg and toasted. The palate is fruity, mineral (beautiful racy minerality), well-balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, an acidulous frame, precision, straightness, suavity, a small fat, energy as well as a fine concentration. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy cherry and crunchy wild blackberry associated with small notes of crunchy wild red berries, wild strawberry as well as fine hints of pepper, varietals/flowers (lily, violet) and discreet hints of liquorice. Tannins are fine and well-built.  VertdeVin
