Volnay Premier Cru, En Champans, Domaine de Montille, 2021 - Magnum

Domaine de Montille was founded in 1730, though it wasn’t until the 1950s that Hubert de Montille made his mark on the Burgundian scene after inheriting 2.5 hectares in 1947. From there Hubert grew the domaine by adding prized parcels in Pommard and Puligny. A true Burgundy legend, his terroir-driven, estate-bottled approach to winemaking was visionary at the time when 90% of the region’s wines were being sold to negociants. 

The Domaine is now in its ninth generation under the stewardship of sibling duo Étienne & Alix, who have largely remained true to their father’s vision of creating elegant, pure and balanced wines. In fact Étienne was instrumental in pushing the sustainability of the Domaine by abandoning all chemical fertilisers and herbicides in 1985 and fully transitioning to biodynamic farming in 2005.
