Vintage Character The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans from Domaine de Montille is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir, hailing from one of Burgundy’s most esteemed premier cru sites in the Côte de Beaune. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was widely celebrated for its exceptional quality, thanks to a warm, dry growing season that produced wines with impressive concentration, lively acidity, and supple tannins.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Volnay opens with elegant aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and rose petals, complemented by subtle hints of spice and forest floor. The palate is marked by a silky texture and precise structure, culminating in a lingering, mineral-driven finish that reflects the well-drained, limestone-rich soils of Les Mitans. Its graceful profile and nuanced fruit make it a superb match for roasted duck breast with cherry sauce or a wedge of classic French Comté cheese, each pairing enhancing the wine’s savory and nutty undertones.
