Monthélie

Located in the Côte de Beaune overlooking Meursault, this small, 300-acre appellation mostly produces red wines (only 45 acres are planted with white grapes). Although these wines are not as well known as their illustrious neighbour Volnay, they boast lovely fruit and fine structure, which makes them enjoyable even in their youth.
