Monthélie Château de Dracy

Built in 1298 as a military fortress for the Dukes of Burgundy, the castle has undergone major transformations over the centuries. The particularly remarkable 75-metre-long winery and cellars, built in 1728, are still in full use today. The wines produced at Château de Dracy have been distributed by Albert Bichot since 1905!

Tasting

The nose is fruity and enhanced by a discrete touch of oak moving on to notes of blackberry, plum and blackcurrant. The palate is fleshy and powerful yet harmonious. Long, full-flavoured finish.

Food/wine pairing

Ideal with tender red meat dishes, small game, dishes cooked in wine sauce and delicate cheese.
