Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Grèves', Domaine de Montille 2023
"Iron- and clay-rich soils on mid-slope sandy limestone provide complexity for this wine. Over one-third whole cluster and 20% new oak lend silky tannins and exceptional concentration. With crisp, crunchy strawberries, bright acidity, and seamless integration, it’s a stunning reflection of the vintage." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. For reds, comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
JCP Maltus, Château Teyssier, (Magnum) 2015
JCP Maltus is the personal project of our friend Jonathan Maltus, the British entrepreneur who arrived in Saint-Émilion in the late 1990s and proceeded to do things his own way. Based at Château Teyssier on the limestone plateau, this is a wine that has always operated at the ambitious end of the Maltus portfolio — low yields, meticulous selection, and the kind of concentration that right-bank Merlot delivers when it's pushed hard. The 2015 vintage gave him exceptional raw material: a warm, dry summer that built fruit intensity without sacrificing freshness, and a harvest picked at near-perfect ripeness. A decade on, this is in a lovely spot. The primary fruit is integrating, the oak has knitted in, and there's a composed, almost meditative quality to it now — dark plum, graphite, a whisper of iron and dried herbs. The tannins are polished but still purposeful.
