Vintage Character Domaine de Montille Beaune 'Les Aigrots' Premier Cru 2022 comes from the Beaune Premier Cru appellation, where Les Aigrots is one of the commune’s noted white-wine climats. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is widely regarded as strong: a warm, dry growing season delivered healthy fruit and generous ripeness, while preserving enough freshness to keep the wines energetic and well defined. Situated on the slope above Beaune, Les Aigrots is prized for producing Chardonnay with both sunny fruit and a distinctly mineral, finely structured profile, a combination that gives this Premier Cru its particular polish.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this wine typically shows aromas of lemon peel, ripe pear, white peach and apple blossom, layered with subtle lees cream, light toast and a stony lift. The palate is dry and poised, with a medium-full body, bright acidity and a textured core that carries orchard fruit, citrus oil and gentle hazelnut notes toward a persistent, chalk-tinged finish. Its balance of ripeness and precision makes it especially appealing at the table with roast chicken in cream sauce, seared scallops, or simply grilled turbot.
Winery Background Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy’s most respected family estates, long associated with transparent, age-worthy wines that privilege site over winemaking showmanship. Revitalized by Hubert de Montille and expanded under Étienne de Montille, the domaine has become a reference point for organic and biodynamic viticulture in the Côte d’Or, with careful hand-harvesting and a strong focus on vineyard expression. In the cellar, the approach is measured and classical, relying on precise élevage and restrained oak so that the character of each climat remains front and center; that clarity is exactly what makes the estate so benchmark-worthy.
