Domaine du Monteillet, owned and operated by the Villard family for centuries, is a cornerstone of winemaking in the northern Rhône Valley. Under the leadership of Stéphane Montez, the estate has gained recognition for its meticulous craftsmanship and expressive wines. With a deep respect for tradition and a willingness to innovate, the domaine produces standout expressions of Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, and Condrieu.
The estate is located in the northern Rhône Valley, a region renowned for its steep vineyards and exceptional Syrah and Viognier wines. The area enjoys a continental climate with warm summers and cool, windy conditions that help preserve acidity and balance in the grapes. Appellations like Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu are among the most revered in the Rhône.
The vineyards of Domaine du Monteillet are planted on steep, terraced slopes with granite-rich soils, ideal for cultivating Syrah and Viognier. The granitic composition enhances minerality, while the southern exposure ensures optimal ripening. This combination of altitude, soil, and microclimate allows the estate to craft wines of intensity, elegance, and a profound sense of terroir.
