Volnay 1er Cru

The domain

Founded in the 18th century in Volnay, it encompassed a mosaic of 12 hectares of certain Grand Crus from the Côte de Nuits and numerous Premier Crus from Volnay. After a tragic crisis, he went from 12 to 3 hectares around the family estate. In 1947, Hubert de Montille revolutionized ownership by stopping the sale of wines to merchants, and Etienne made his mark in the estate alongside his father starting in 1980. Transitioning to organic farming and then to biodynamic practices, expanding their estate throughout Burgundy and acquiring the Château de Puligny-Montrachet, Étienne and his sister Alix have elevated their family story and their estate among the legends of Burgundy.



The wine

Situated on a mid-slope, the vines that enjoy the rising sun take root in a soil that combines limestone and clay, adding complexity to this cuvée, regarded as the most fleshy and sensual of the estate. The smoothness of the tannins and the aromatic purity that are the signature of Montille, this 1999 vintage is eager to be enjoyed.
