De Montille
Domaine de Montille in the Cote de Beaune was developed by Hubert de Montille in 1951. His family have aristocratic roots in the region’s land since the 17th century. Now run by his son, Etienne, they use traditional wine making techniques to produce pure elegant Burgundy that generally requires five years bottle ageing.

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Beaune Aigrots 1er Cru Blanc has a primal grapefruit scented nose, quite intense and lively. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine bead of acidity, a little resinous in texture, lots of good extract here with quite a complexity, ginger-tinged finish. Recommended. Closure: Diam |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-90)(racked during the harvest and now in cuve Good full red. More perfumed on the nose than the bottled Beaunes, offering black cherry, licorice, spices and minerals. A step up in flavor intensity and energy; in fact, a bit youthfully imploded today. Much more tension here, thanks to the 33% whole cluster component. This has more material to support its tannins. |

Vinous (90)(one-third destemmed): Good full medium red. Slightly medicinal aromas of red berries, cherry and mocha. Thicker and sweeter than the Perrieres but with a light touch for its density. Savory and nicely done, finishing with suave tannins and very good length. Incidentally, Etienne de Montille describes his 2011 reds as vibrantly fruity, crisp and transparent--like 2007 but with more mid-palate, a higher-toned acidity and better-quality tannins. |

Vinous (88)Bright medium red. A ripe aroma of cherry liqueur is lifted by spice and mint high notes and complicated by menthol and licorice. Shows good texture for the vintage but today the strong licorice element dominates the wine's fruit. Finishes quite peppery, with slightly tough tannins. Not particularly approachable for a wine from clay-based soil. The crop level was down 30% due to hail and a bad flowering. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves was fully destemmed. It has an earthy, damp woodland-scented bouquet that infiltrates the red berry fruit, perhaps just a little rustic for a Beaune Grèves, but full of character. The palate is medium-bodied with good density and edgy red fruit with earthy tones coming through on the slightly conservative finish. I probably just prefer the Beaune Perrières this year. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2018 Beaune Les Sizies 1er Cru is made with one-third whole cluster this year. It has a slightly smudged bouquet of raspberry and strawberry fruit that needs to attain more clarity by the time of bottling. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that renders it much fresher and more tensile than the aromatics at the moment, although I would have liked a little more length. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)One third whole bunch and 15% new wood. No great depth of colour, but an attractive medium depth of cherry and raspberry fruit. The soil retains the water here, which is nowadays a good thing. Shows a bit of oak at the back in this early stage, but the fruit retains its fresh and bright qualities. Tasted: October 2020 |

Burghound (88)Cool and airy aromas are comprised by notes of red cherry, plum and hints of violet and anise. The mouthfeel of the middleweight flavors is wonderfully sleek and energetic that contrasts with the chalky, dusty compact and somewhat short finish. |
