Expert Ratings

92/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Folatières offers up a pretty bouquet of citrus oil, white flowers and crisp green orchard fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, charming and textural palate that's fine-boned, lively and mineral. This is quite a delicate, pretty Folatières that avoids excess."

94/100 Decanter
"Brian Sieve has made some very impressive white wines at de Montille in 2018, typified by the quality of this focused, concentrated Premier Cru white. Grapefruit, fennel and patisserie flavours marry appealingly on the palate with 25% new wood, leesy weight and a fresh, tangy finish. Early picking was crucial to the style of the wine."

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.
