Premier Cru, Les Aigrots Blanc, Domaine de Montille 2021

Retailer product description

Les Aigrots is one of Beaune's more quietly compelling premiers crus — not the flashiest name on the Côte de Beaune, but in the hands of Domaine de Montille it becomes something rather serious. This is white Burgundy made with deliberate restraint: low yields, minimal intervention, and a refusal to flatter through excess oak. The 2021 vintage, for all its difficult growing season, produced whites of real precision and energy, and Les Aigrots Blanc is a fine example — tight-knit, mineral, and built on tension rather than weight. The wine opens with white peach and lemon curd cut through by a chalky, saline undercurrent, and the palate has a focused, almost steely quality that keeps you reaching back. There is oak here, but it serves the wine rather than defines it.
