Domaine de Montille Grand Cru , Chevalier-Montrachet

Domaine de Montille holds a small parcel of Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, situated on the highest, steepest section of the legendary Montrachet hill. This vineyard produces fruit of exceptional concentration. Under the direction of Étienne de Montille, the estate manages the vines using certified biodynamic farming principles to maintain soil health and clear site expression.

Winemaker Brian Sieve oversees a sensitive vinification process that respects the fruit. The juice ferments in a combination of traditional 228-litre and larger 600-litre French oak barrels, with new oak kept to a modest maximum of 25%. The wine ages on lees without stirring to preserve focus, before a final phase in stainless steel vats seals in freshness.

The nose regularly shows aromas of white peach, green apple, chamomile and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine delivers distinct mineral drive, balanced by a dense texture and precise acidity, ensuring substantial cellaring potential.
