Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Preuses', Maison de Montille 2015
A beautifully refined Les Preuses - sleek and mineral-driven, gliding rather than pushing — layered citrus, fine chalk, a touch of almond and superb length. It’s a 2015 that leans more on elegance than weight, with the terroir doing the talking. 2015 was a warm, generous year in Chablis, producing riper fruit profiles, but the best sites - especially high on the slope in Les Preuses - retained excellent freshness. This sits firmly among the successes: ripeness in check, tension intact. Maison de Montille is the négociant arm of the revered Domaine de Montille, bringing the same philosophy of purity, restraint and terroir transparency to carefully sourced fruit. Their Chablis bottlings follow the domaine’s hallmark style: precise, mineral, elegantly handled, and never overworked.
Maison De Montille, Chablis Grand Cru, Preuses, Domaine de Montille 2019
We can’t think of another address in Burgundy that has such strength in its domaine whites and Cote de Beaune reds (and the highly sought after Vosne Romanée ‘Malconsorts’ cherry on top) and we are delighted to carry a good selection from across their portfolio. Brian is rightly pleased with the domaine’s wines again this year commenting on a good balance of acidity and alcohol but adding a note of caution about climate change: 2019 was one of the driest vintages on record and he suggests Burgundy is in “ in a window right now. Pinot Noir is a delicate variety and we need more water and less sun ”. Overall he preferred slightly fewer whole bunches and less new oak than 2018. Etienne adds that 2019 has a “ classic textural character ” and was “ a consensual vintage – everyone could make the style of wine they wanted, unlike the last three vintages, here there is something for everyone ”. The latter is certainly true here at de Montille with chiselled, polished reds and racy but juicy whites. Once again Beaune 1er Cru (both colours) continues to over-perform and offer exceptional value.
