In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Golden apple and brioche brightness open on the nose, followed by a mineral snap of struck match. The palate reveals real textural depth—rich yet restrained—held in perfect poise by crisp acidity that keeps the wine dancing. This is Burgundy white at its most compelling, moving between freshness and richness with remarkable balance.

The Winery — Domaine de Montille

One of Burgundy's most historic estates, now in its ninth generation under Etienne de Montille, this family operation rebuilt its reputation on patience and principled winemaking. Etienne, initially trained as a lawyer, returned to Volnay and expanded the domaine to 37 hectares across 35 separate appellations—one of the most enviable holdings in the Côte d'Or. An early organic advocate, he introduced these principles in 1995, followed by biodynamic certification in 2012. The 2022 vintage benefited from ideal conditions: temperate summer heat and well-timed rain allowed the late-August harvest to capture fruit in pristine condition. Hand-harvesting, careful sorting, pneumatic pressing, and a thoughtful oak regimen (30% new Allier barrels) over 16–18 months allow this wine's freshness and tension to breathe before bottling.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is a complete wine for the table. Pair with poached chicken, butter-enriched fish like turbot or cod, soft cheeses such as Brie and Chaumes, mushroom and truffle dishes, or creamy risotto. At 12.5% alcohol and vegan-certified, it's built to impress as a gift and cellar worthily—drink now through the early 2030s for evolving complexity.
