Xavier Monnot is easily one of our favorite producers of affordable,
amazing quality Burg for the price. His whites have also shown that they
can age gracefully. These are enjoyable now or can be consumed with a few years of aging.
"Xavier Monnot is a 17-hectare estate, all family-owned, located in Meursault. About 50% of the vineyards are planted in white, 50% in red. The production though is 65% white. Domaine Xavier Monnot’s vineyards are very spread out, covering most of the Côte de Beaune starting in Beaune 1er Cru “Cent Vignes” and stretching all the way to Maranges 1er Cru in the Côte Chalonnaise. All the vines are hand-harvested and new oak is used with a lot of caution."
