Discover the Timeless Legacy of Domaine de Montille
Step into the world of Domaine de Montille, an illustrious winemaking heritage rooted in the heart of Volnay since the 18th century. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of the Côte de Beaune, this esteemed domaine spans 20 hectares of vineyards, predominantly graced by Premiers and Grands Crus. With meticulous care, the estate produces approximately 8,000 cases across 20 appellations, showcasing the rich tapestry of Burgundian terroir.
A Legacy Shaped by Visionaries
The tale of Domaine de Montille begins with Hubert de Montille, a luminary whose brilliance illuminated the 20th century. A lawyer by trade, he tirelessly dedicated himself to reviving and expanding the domaine, which had gradually diminished over time. His unwavering commitment not only reestablished its eminence but also propelled its reputation to international acclaim in the 1960s.
Hubert's indomitable spirit continues to thrive through the succeeding generation of vignerons. Etienne, followed by Alix, has seamlessly assumed the reins of the estate, nurturing its time-honoured values. Etienne skillfully crafts the magnificent Pinot Noirs, while Alix passionately tends to the lustrous Chardonnays. In their hands, the essence of the domaine endures.
A Captivating Evolution
With the arrival of Etienne, a remarkable transformation commenced. While cherishing the estate's cherished heritage, he infused a touch of allure, accentuating the wines' velvety textures and their inherent "whole harvest" character. This evolution in style embraces authenticity, elegance, and an innate capacity for graceful maturation.
Etienne's dedication to environmental stewardship also propels the domaine forward. A milestone was reached in 1985 when chemical fertilizers and herbicides were entirely abandoned. In 1995, synthetic fungicides and insecticides were relinquished, heralding the transition to organic viticulture. Finally, in 2005, biodynamic principles were adopted, enhancing the harmony between nature and vine. The estate proudly achieved the Ecocert Bio certification in 2012, a testament to its unwavering commitment to sustainable practices.
