Tasting notes
Opens with expressive floral aromas of peony and violets, interwoven with wild redcurrant, black cherry, and a touch of forest floor and black pepper. On the palate, it is structured and energetic, with finely grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a core of juicy dark fruit. A mineral, saline backbone adds tension and depth, leading to a long, focused finish. This is a poised and elegant Grand Cru with both power and finesse, promising excellent aging potential.
More About The Winery
The De Montille family has been a cornerstone of Burgundy for centuries, but the domaine’s reputation was firmly established in 1947, when Hubert de Montille inherited vineyards in Volnay. Hubert’s wines became legendary for their austere, structured style, built for long ageing.
Since the 1990s, Etienne de Montille has led the estate into a new era. Expanding into Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet, and beyond, he also integrated the former Château de Puligny-Montrachet holdings, creating one of the most impressive portfolios in the Côte d’Or.
Pioneering organic farming since 1995 and biodynamic practices since 2005, Domaine de Montille is now admired for wines that are both authentic and generous. The reds are vinified with whole clusters for aromatic depth and finesse, while the whites display precision, minerality, and purity.
Today, Domaine de Montille stands as one of Burgundy’s great names, producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that perfectly express their terroirs and continue to captivate collectors worldwide.
