Domaine De Montille - Meursault White 1er Cru 'Les Perrieres' 2020 Magnum

Grapes

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

This wine opens with an overtly floral and spice-laced bouquet, underpinned by deeper notes of poached plum and black cherry liqueur. On the palate, the medium-bodied flavors are precise, vibrant, and attractively textured, showing fine energy and focus. The finish is long, dusty, and slightly chalky, with youthful austerity and firm tannic structure that suggests excellent aging potential. A wine of fine quality and quiet power, showing both refinement and latent depth.

Expert Ratings

Vinous 93 points

"The 2020 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a well-defined nose with perhaps more mineralité than others. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, light tropical notes with hints of peach and apricot, quite sensual towards the finish that lingers in the mouth. Delicious, but maybe it just needs a little more tension." - Vinous

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.
