Bourgogne Blanc, Domaine de Montille 2023
"Young vines and parcels from Puligny-Montrachet lend floral jasmine notes and lime zest to this Bourgogne Blanc. Aged in 600L barrels with no new oak, it is bright and mineral-driven with a clean, fresh finish." 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. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced. 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.
Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru 'Les Bouthières', Meurgey-Croses 2023
"From a cooler site with clay-limestone soils, this wine has exotic pineapple fruit, good minerality, and bright acidity. Fermented with no new oak, it is fresh and elegant." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
