Vintage Character The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans from Domaine de Montille captures the finesse and depth that define this celebrated Côte de Beaune terroir. The 2019 vintage in Burgundy is widely recognized as outstanding, thanks to a warm, sunny growing season that yielded wines with impressive ripeness, concentration, and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Pinot Noir opens with expressive aromas of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and delicate rose petals, complemented by subtle notes of spice and forest floor. On the palate, it is silky and refined, showcasing layers of juicy red fruit, fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish that reflects the limestone-rich soils of Les Mitans. This wine’s elegance and complexity make it an excellent partner for classic French fare such as duck breast with cherry sauce, as well as dishes like truffle risotto or creamy Camembert cheese, each pairing highlighting its nuanced character.
