Vintage Character The 2020 vintage in Burgundy delivered outstanding conditions for red wines, thanks to a warm, dry growing season that produced small, concentrated berries and resulted in wines of remarkable depth and structure. Domaine de Montille Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves 2020 exemplifies the elegance and complexity of this renowned Premier Cru, earning an impressive 92-94 points from The Wine Advocate. The bouquet is vibrant and expressive, offering wild cherry, raspberry, dried rose petals, and subtle undertones of forest floor.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, layers of red and black fruit are complemented by refined notes of spice and mineral, all framed by supple tannins and lively acidity that lead to a persistent, graceful finish. Its silky texture and depth make it an ideal companion for dishes such as roast duck with cherry sauce, mushroom risotto, or a classic French Comté cheese, each pairing enhancing the wine’s nuanced character.
Winery Background Domaine de Montille stands as one of Burgundy’s most respected family estates, with origins dating back to the 18th century and a steadfast commitment to traditional winemaking. Now led by Étienne de Montille, the domaine is dedicated to organic and biodynamic viticulture, ensuring the health and vitality of their vineyards. Their approach in the cellar is marked by a restrained use of new oak, allowing the unique terroir of Les Grèves—with its deep, gravelly soils—to express itself fully in the glass. This philosophy results in wines celebrated for their purity, balance, and capacity to age, capturing the essence of Beaune’s Premier Cru heritage and the distinctive character of each vintage.
