Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Aux Thorey', Domaine de Montille, (Magnum) 2022
Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy’s most revered estates and this burgeoning family property is very much at the top of its game, producing wines of exceptional quality: scintillating, proper Burgundies, unusually across both reds and whites. Features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine Producers and Top 10 Côte de Beaune White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2022 Special Report. Self-confessed ‘acid freak’ Brian Sieve was especially careful with battonage and lees-stirring of the Chardonnays in 2022, to maintain freshness and verve, noting that it was not a high acid vintage. A little less new oak (not that there is ever more than just enough) and whole bunches in the reds than in the previous solar vintages, plus the gentler acid profile means the wines have a charm and immediacy to rival any vintage we’ve tasted from the domaine. “A site close to Vosne Romanée, next to two famous Nuits crus – ‘Argillats’ and ‘Chaignots’, the limestone soils here are marked a number of small stones. One of the hidden gems in the portfolio, this is the “other” 1er Cru that de Montille has in the Cote de Nuits apart from their plots in flagship ‘Malconsorts’ in neighbouring Vosne. 60% whole bunch and 30% new oak. High-toned, inky but perfumed blue and red fruits, floral with hints of wild thyme at the base of an old stone wall. A crunchy attack of sappy, succulent red plums, and newly-polished leather, medium-grained, refined tannins, and a touch of liquorice on the finely-drawn finish. Confident and complete.” Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
Volnay Premier Cru 'Les Brouillards', Domaine de Montille, (Magnum) 2023
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.
