Volnay Premier Cru 'Les Taillepieds', Domaine de Montille, 2024

Est. delivery in 2027

"The most serious Volnay in the line-up. Bark, beef stock and forest floor lead into stewed red fruit beneath. Chalky, saline and long, with refined tannins emerging as it opens."
Ksenia Pashkova, Club Merchandiser

2024 was a genuinely demanding year in the Côte de Beaune. Persistent rain and humidity from spring through harvest slashed yields and put relentless pressure on vineyard work, with timing and selection absolutely critical. At de Montille, decisions were calm, precise and unapologetically classical. Picking was about accuracy rather than courage, extraction was handled with restraint, and élevage kept firmly in service of site expression.

The results are quietly impressive across both colours. These are not showy wines, but deeply articulate ones: transparent, savoury, and built to age. In a vintage where excess was an easy trap, de Montille has delivered wines that speak clearly of place, confirming once again why this remains one of the Côte de Beaune’s most serious and intellectually satisfying domaines, even when conditions are at their most uncooperative.
