Tasting at de Montille is always an education as the opportunity to sample across the Cote d’Or, the domaine’s consistently top class reds and whites, gives an unrivalled perspective on the quality and style of the vintage, accompanied by Brian Sieve’s typically measured appraisal.
Great fruit set and warmer evenings but not the relentless heat that affected some sites established the tone for the domaine’s wines, and as ever, Brian is strict about picking based on the acidity profile of the grapes, which has ensured balanced wines with the correct pH and alcohol levels under 13.3%. Elegance, focus and energy epitomise the domaine’s wines and they were a pleasure to taste as always.
Drinking window: 2023 - 2032
What the critics say:
"The first white to be picked, the Beaune Aigrots shows a refreshing green tint, some of the beneficial reduction character, very tightly wound, pure white fruit behind, lean but not without flesh, well balanced and persistent. 15% new wood used. Tasted: October 2021. ****"
