Vintage Character Domaine de Montille Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans 2022 comes from the Volnay Premier Cru appellation in the Côte de Beaune, where Pinot Noir on a well-exposed mid-slope site gives wines of particular finesse. The 2022 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, dry growing season produced healthy, concentrated fruit, while timely rainfall helped preserve enough balance to keep Volnay’s hallmark lift and precision. Les Mitans is especially prized for its classic mid-slope position and limestone-rich Burgundian soils, a combination that often delivers both perfume and fine structural definition.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this wine shows the graceful, tensile side of Volnay, with aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal and violet, followed by subtle spice and a discreet earthy, mineral nuance. The palate is silky yet focused, with refined tannins, vivid acidity and a lingering finish that leans toward pure red fruits, floral detail and savoury delicacy rather than weight. It should pair beautifully with roast duck, herb-crusted veal, or mushroom risotto.
Winery Background Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy’s reference-point estates, a historic family domaine long associated with transparent, terroir-driven wines and a classical, age-worthy style. Under Étienne de Montille, the estate has embraced organic and biodynamic farming across its holdings, with careful hand-harvesting and an emphasis on vineyard expression over cellar artifice. Fermentations are typically handled with restraint, extraction is measured, and élevage in French oak is designed to frame rather than mask the wine, making de Montille a benchmark for purity, structure and precision in the Côte de Beaune.
