Eric de Suremain - Château de Monthelie
Eric de Suremain operates from Château de Monthelie in the Côte de Beaune, the heart of Burgundy's white wine country. The portfolio centers on two appellations: Rully and Monthélie, both producing wines of classical structure and mineral precision. The flagship L'intemporelle Rully 1er Cru 'Pillot' is a Chardonnay that demonstrates the limestone-driven character of the region—lean, focused, and built for the cellar. In Pinot Noir, the Monthélie 1er Cru 'Sur la Velle' shows the darker, more structured side of the Côte de Beaune, with the silky tannin profile the appellation is known for. A village-level Monthélie rounds out the core range, offering entry into the appellation's elegant, food-friendly expression. Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator have assessed the winery's output, reflecting its standing within Burgundy's competitive landscape. The house style favors restraint and terroir expression over extraction—wines that age gracefully and pair naturally with the table.
