Domaine de Montille 2020 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru: A Burgundy Masterpiece

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the prestigious Volnay appellation in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, this 2020 Pinot Noir by Domaine de Montille embodies the essence of terroir-driven winemaking. Crafted from two historic parcels—one with partially destemmed grapes and another with 100% whole-cluster fermentation from ancient vines rooted in limestone-rich soil—this wine reflects the de Montille family’s legacy of excellence.

Tasting Profile:
Decanter awards it 95 points, praising its ripe plum fruit, spice-infused depth, and polished elegance that lingers seamlessly on the palate. Vinous (93-95 points) highlights its succulent tannins, luxuriant texture, and pure, sensual finish, while Burghound (92-94 points) notes its cool purity, violet and lavender aromas, and mineral-driven intensity. Jasper Morris (92-94 points) commends its balance of freshness and fruit, with a tight, firm structure that promises graceful aging.

Winemaking Philosophy:
Made with organic grapes and 90% whole-cluster fermentation, this wine balances vintage character with structured refinement. The result is a medium-bodied expression of Volnay’s finesse, offering layers of brambly red berries, black pepper, and wet stone minerality.
