Tasting Notes
The 2022 Meursault Les Perrieres 1er Cru retains mineralite and tension on the nose with a very slight reduction. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity and more mineralite compared to other Perrieres I have tasted. Elegant and quite persistent on the finish. Excellent.
Expert Rating
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy 92-95/100
"Fine pale colour. This is more reductive than most in the cellar, at the moment. Some ripe pears behind. A little youthful bitterness, perhaps the reduction, but there is good fruit weight and tension. This may well grow from where it is today. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023."
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.
