Domaine Douhairet-Porcheret

This Monthélie property dates back over 300 years, however its modern history starts in the 1970s, when sisters Armande and Charlotte Douhairet inherited the 13-hectare estate, then known as Domaine Monthélie-Douhairet. They divided the estate, with Charlotte selling her half and Armande keeping hers. Mademoiselle Armande – one of the only women in the region then to run a domaine alone – forged the estate’s reputation. She never married, and in 1989 she hired André Porcheret to make the wine.
