Domaine Douhairet-Porcheret Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses 2020

From the Importer: 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 Monthélie 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.
