Brian is rightly pleased with the domaine’s wines again this year commenting on a good balance of acidity and alcohol but adding a note of caution about climate change: 2019 was one of the driest vintages on record and he suggests Burgundy is in “in a window right now. Pinot Noir is a delicate variety and we need more water and less sun”. Overall he preferred slightly fewer whole bunches and less new oak than 2018. Etienne adds that 2019 has a “classic textural character” and was “a consensual vintage – everyone could make the style of wine they wanted, unlike the last three vintages, here there is something for everyone”.
The latter is certainly true here at de Montille with chiselled, polished reds and racy but juicy whites.
What the critics say:
"A ripe and fresh nose combines notes of both red and dark berries along with a touch of earth. The round, delicious and nicely vibrant flavors possess a suave texture before concluding in a lingering finish that flashes only a touch of rusticity. This forward effort is actually quite for its level and it's worth a look. 'Outstanding'"
