The Domaine du Monteillet Les Hauts du Monteillet Blanc  is a sophisticated and nuanced white Rhône blend that beautifully showcases the skill and vision of Stéphane Montez. Crafted from carefully selected parcels in the Collines Rhodaniennes, this wine blends the broad, aromatic foundation of Viognier with the structure and elegance of Marsanne, Roussanne, and Clairette. Each varietal brings its own character to the wine: Viognier for its lush stone fruit and floral notes, Marsanne and Roussanne for body and richness, and Clairette for freshness and lift. Aged for 10 months in 600-litre French oak demi-muids with gentle battonage, the wine achieves a perfect balance of weight, texture, and finesse without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. The result is a wine that is both expressive and refined, with a long, lingering finish that reveals layers of complexity.

Meet the producer
Stéphane Montez’s family have been cultivating vines in the Northern Rhône for ten generations, and today their 23-hectare estate combines tradition with modern winemaking precision.

Production
The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation on its lees in oak barrels with monthly battonage, then ages for 10 months in 600-litre French oak demi-muids. This gentle oak regimen enhances the texture and depth of the wine while preserving the purity of the fruit.

Tasting notes
Rich and limpid, with exotic stone fruit aromas elegantly restrained by zesty lime notes. A deft touch of oak adds weight and texture, and the finish is persistent, carrying subtle nuances of apricot and white blossom.

Food match
Ideal with cheese fondue, roasted chicken, or creamy seafood dishes.
