Tasting notes
The 2023 Domaine de Montille Bourgogne Rouge is a bright and aromatic Pinot Noir, marked by crunchy red and forest berry fruits, gentle spice, and subtle earthy, saline nuances. The palate is fresh and well-balanced, medium-bodied, and true to the estate’s signature style elegant, precise, and finely detailed. Benefiting from a warm, sunny 2023 vintage, the wine combines generosity of fruit with admirable freshness and clarity.
The fruit is sourced from a one-hectare plot in Volnay, in the lieu-dit “Les Longbois,” as well as from vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet. Although classified as a regional Burgundy, this cuvée is crafted with the same meticulous care and precision as the estate’s Premier and Grand Cru wines, reflecting the domaine’s hallmark elegance and purity of style.
More 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.
