Tasting notes
The 2020 Domaine de Montille Bourgogne Blanc “Le Clos du Château” is a refined Chardonnay that consistently punches above its appellation, thanks to its vineyard’s privileged location near Puligny-Montrachet.
In the glass, it shows a bright pale golden color. The nose is precise and elegant, offering aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white flowers, supported by subtle hints of hazelnut and flinty minerality.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and vibrant, driven by high acidity and remarkable tension. Notes of lemon, orchard fruits, and chalky minerality unfold over a clean, structured frame, leading to a long, fresh, and mineral-driven finish.
More About The Winery
The De Montille family has been a cornerstone of Burgundy for centuries, but the domaine’s reputation was firmly established in 1947, when Hubert de Montille inherited vineyards in Volnay. Hubert’s wines became legendary for their austere, structured style, built for long ageing.
Since the 1990s, Etienne de Montille has led the estate into a new era. Expanding into Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet, and beyond, he also integrated the former Château de Puligny-Montrachet holdings, creating one of the most impressive portfolios in the Côte d’Or.
Pioneering organic farming since 1995 and biodynamic practices since 2005, Domaine de Montille is now admired for wines that are both authentic and generous. The reds are vinified with whole clusters for aromatic depth and finesse, while the whites display precision, minerality, and purity.
Today, Domaine de Montille stands as one of Burgundy’s great names, producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that perfectly express their terroirs and continue to captivate collectors worldwide.
