The Winery

Domaine de Montille

Although the de Montille family roots can be traced back to the middle of the 17th century to the Auxois region of the Côte-d'Or in France, it was not until 1947 that the Domaine de Montille vinified its first vintage of wine. Before purchasing the physical estate the family was known as negociants, but quickly turned into one of the top red Burgundy producers when they began purchasing parcels of land from the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.

Today most of their sought-after wines, specifically 75%, come from land that has been classified as either premier or grand cru. Since the 1990s, the estate has made an effort to create nearly natural wines by obtaining their biodynamic and organic certifications as well as only using native yeasts and avoiding chaptalization.

Tasting Notes

WA91–93
The 2010 Volnay Mitans was made with 100% whole clusters and that comes through loud and clear in the wine’s expressive aromatics. Layers of silky red berries follow as the aromas and flavors take shape. Rose petals, spices and licorice are layered into the sensual, totally beguiling finish. The Mitans needs time for the stems to fully harmonize with the rest of the elements, but there is no denying it is flat-out delicious. This is a great effort from Etienne de Montille. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035.
