Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Xavier Monnot, one of Meursault’s standout producers, is celebrated for wines that balance purity of fruit, elegance, and layered complexity. Formerly known as Domaine René Monnier (his grandfather’s estate), the domaine took on Xavier’s name in 2005, coinciding with significant vineyard and cellar improvements.

Today, Domaine Xavier Monnot spans 42 acres from Beaune to Maranges, with 60% of production dedicated to whites and 40% to reds, including several premier crus across Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Volnay, and Maranges. Xavier maintains an average vine age of 30–40 years and works under lutte raisonnée principles.

For his Bourgogne Rouge, Xavier sources fruit from contracted growers in the Côte de Beaune. The grapes are fully destemmed, and the wine is matured in 15% new oak, resulting in a polished, expressive Burgundy with a clear sense of place.
