Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Grèves', Domaine de Montille 2021
Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy's most quietly authoritative estates, and Les Grèves is one of the reasons why. This is a serious Beaune Premier Cru — not the showy, plump kind that flatters on first pour, but the kind that earns its keep. One third whole-cluster fermentation gives it a spine and a faint woodland savouriness that lifts the dark fruit without dominating it. There's a rugged quality here, something a little brooding, with tannins that currently lead the charge. The fruit keeps pace, just, and the finish suggests this wine has more to say than it's letting on right now. This is Pinot Noir at its most determined rather than its most generous, from a vintage that rewarded patience in the vineyard and will reward it in the cellar too.
Château Duhart-Milon 2022
Est. delivery in 2025 Château Duhart-Milon’s vineyard consists mainly of a single block of vines on the west side of Château Lafite Rothschild, on the Milon hillside, which runs along the Carruades plateau. The property has 76 hectares of vine. The soil is fine gravel mixed with aeolian sand on tertiary limestone subsoil. The growing season was closely monitored, coming after a severe winter and some spring frost. Flowering was not very productive, constant humidity favoured disease and the summer was moderately warm. Fortunately, September was fine and so it was possible to wait for the grapes to fully ripen, with late harvests.
