Winery Background Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy’s most respected family-run estates, with a history dating back to the 18th century and a reputation for producing terroir-driven wines of purity and character. Under the leadership of Etienne de Montille, the domaine has embraced organic and biodynamic viticulture, cultivating low yields to enhance the expression of each vineyard site. Les Grèves, situated on the mid-slope of Beaune, is renowned for its deep, gravelly soils that contribute structure and finesse to the wines. The estate’s winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and a restrained use of oak, resulting in elegant, age-worthy wines that faithfully reflect their origins.
