Tasting Notes

The Domaine de Montille Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 is a red wine with a complex and elegant profile. It features a deep red color, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, licorice, and violet. The wine is described as sappy and vinous, with a savory/sweet quality and intense flavors of dark berries, violet, and graphite. It has firm tannins, a primary black cherry note, and a floral lift on the finish. The wine is expected to benefit from aging, needing at least four or five years of bottle age. 

Expert Rating

Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy 92-94/100

"One third whole bunches. Brian thinks this site is benefitting from global warming as there is a good water supply. Quite a dense purple. The bouquet is notably reduced. A deep full raspberry fruit up front, then quite dry tannins behind. Really backward. Drink from 2028-2040. (Oct 2022)"

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.
