2022 Domaine de Montille Beaune Les Greves Premier Cru

Other Reviews....
This is aromatically more complex but also more reserved with its nose of warm earth, poached plum, violet and softly sauvage nuances. There is good power and punch, if only average density, to the muscular and lightly stony medium weight flavors that display excellent length on the more youthfully austere finale. Excellent development potential here. Drink through 2032+.

40% whole bunch, not room enough in the vat for more! Dense purple, the nose slightly more reticent as the serious side of Grèves impinges. A lovely grain to the tannins, a robust heart to the wine. Slightly darker fruit emerges at the back, all good for the long term. Drink from 2031-2038.

De Montille owns a magnificent 1.26-hectare parcel in Beaune Grèves just south of Bouchard's Baby Jesus, planted in iron and clay soils over sandy limestone. The vines delivered a complex, compelling wine in 2022: a ripe, plummy fruit with a savoury, gamey edge and a firm, saline undercurrent. Half of the grapes were fermented as whole clusters with a combination of punching down and pumping over. The structure is now supple and silky, yet enough tannin suggests that this will age well. Drink 2027-2055.
