Tasting Notes

Old vines, 100% whole bunch, gravel on limestone. Rather fuller purple. Darker fruit on the palate, mostly up front, a bit more mineral behind, not quite all in place yet but the fruit and the floral notes return behind. Dark raspberry.

92/94
Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, November 2018

Often the most complete of the de Montille Volnay premiers crus, this comes from two parcels of 80-year-old vines, both below the village on either side of the road. Floral, nuanced and malty, it isn't excessively marked by its 100% whole bunches, partly because the wine has such depth, freshness and acidity. Drink between 2025-2032.
