Pommard 'Les Cras', Domaine de Montille 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 south-facing slope, between the 1er crus ‘les Combes Dessus’ and ‘Le Clos Micot”. On gravelly, red-clay rich soils. 50% whole bunch and 20% new oak. An attractive nose of bright red fruits and cedar, with earthy, berry notes. Palate is nicely drawn, supple, with crunchy blue and red fruits, and good poise and persistence.” Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru

Production Grapes are hand-harvested from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Valle de Uco at elevations between 2,300 and 3,900 feet. Fermentation follows traditional red winemaking techniques to preserve varietal character and depth. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels—30% new and 70% second use—allowing gentle integration of oak without overpowering the fruit.
