The Domaine de Montille was established in Volnay in the mid-18th century. It currently farms 20 hectares of primarily Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Côtes de Beaune and Nuits. Since 2002 Alix and Etienne de Montille manage the estate and the winemaking bringing their individual contributions while staying true to the vision of their father Hubert de Montille. "

The 2018 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru has a more detailed purer bouquet compared to Les Grands Epenots offering vivacious dark cherry raspberry and pomegranate notes and good mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition and finer tannins and the calcaire soils plus the 30% whole cluster lend real definition and personality on the finish. Excellent.

The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles was showing especially well bursting from the glass with scents of orange rind peonies wild berries and cinnamon that's quite marked by its whole-cluster component. Medium to full-bodied succulent and supple it's ripe and enveloping with supple powdery tannins cloaked in a fleshy core of fruit. Winemaker Brian Sieve has excelled himself in 2018 producing a portfolio of elegant precise wines that bear the stamp of the vintage without being dominated by it. As was the case last year some wines were quite tight-knit and reserved when I tasted them in December but they will flesh out and open up considerably by the time they're bottled.
