Tasting notes:
This comes from a blend of some of the village’s best parcels, including Les Narvaux, Casse Têtes, and Petits Charrons. It has a wonderful balance between crunchy green fruit with fennel freshness, and a creamy backbone
Expert Rating:
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 90+/100
"The 2019 Meursault Saint-Christophe unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, wheat toast, praline and a deft touch of youthful reduction. Medium-bodied, taut and fine-boned, with racy acids and a delicate core of fruit, it concludes with a saline finish. This will unwind with bottle age to reveal more texture and amplitude. As usual, it's a cuvée composed from holdings in Casse-Tête, Petits Charrons and Narvaux du Dessous." William Kelley
About the Winery:
After being founded in the 1750s, in the mid-18th century, the Domaine de Montille century extended over 12 hectares. The family's financial problems meant that Etienne de Montille, the manager at that time, had to abandon certain parcels of land and focus on 3 hectares, mainly in Volnay. With the arrival of Hubert de Montille, Etienne's grandson, the domaine took off in another direction. Like his father, Hubert was a lawyer, however he would go on to lead a double life as a wine grower and a lawyer. He decided to produce his own wines from A to Z. Within a few decades, he would become one of the finest examples in the region, perfectly expressing the terroir of each climat with pure and elegant wines.
Today, the domaine is managed by Etienne and Alix de Montille, Hubert's children who also were originally steered towards a legal career. The domaine now has 20 hectares of vines, including 15 of grand and premier crus, on the best climats of Burgundy, in white and red! Domaine de Montille now produces its wines using biodynamic methodology, perpetuating the tradition of innovation and excellence introduced by Hubert de Montille. Etienne and Alix also created a mini trading structure, Maison Deux Montille Soeur Frère.
