Vinous (89-91)The 2018 Beaune Les Aigrots Blanc 1er Cru has a clean, fresh bouquet of apple blossom, nectarine and light granite aromas, all well defined and nicely focused. The balanced palate delivers a fine bead of acidity, good weight and a slightly waxy texture. There is just a touch of salinity on the finish, completing this well-crafted and satisfying Les Aigrots Blanc. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru comes from iron-rich clayey soils and contains two-thirds whole cluster this year. It has a lovely bouquet of red berry fruit laced with slate and bay leaf aromas, very well defined and absorbing the 25% new oak easily. The palate is well balanced with a mineral-rich entry, a fine bead of acidity and touches of brown spice sprinkled over the red fruit. The stony, terse finish indicates that it could age for longer than many will grant it. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)One third whole bunch, 25% new wood. Pretty mid purple. Succulent fruit stands out more here than the sometimes more austere Grèves character. Rich, intense, deep cherry fruit with a sterner backbone in the mouth, all the intensity is at the back. This has the focus that we expect from Grèves. Tasted: October 2020 |

Vinous (88-91)Palish red. More stony on the nose than the Sizies, with a perfumed quality to the strawberry, cherry and menthol aromas. A step up in texture and sweetness, displaying an element of smoky minerality and a slightly edgy quality on the plate. Finishes with a firm mineral spine and an herbal nuance. |

Vinous (90-92)(two-thirds vendange entier; 25% new oak): Bright, full red. Distinctly limestone-driven aromas of raspberry, earth and smoky minerality. Silky, sappy and impressively concentrated, with black raspberry and cooler cherry flavors framed and enlivened by brisk acidity. The serious, broad tannins arrive late, allowing the wine's fruit flavors to carry well on the aftertaste. |

Vinous (89-91)(20% new oak and one-third vendange entier; the average vine age here is 50 years): Medium red. More delicate on the nose than the Les Sizies, offering scents of strawberry and stone. Then juicier and more energetic on the palate, showing lovely precision and penetration to its red fruit and saline mineral flavors. On the lean side but the firmly tannic finish leaves behind a salty tang. Winemaker Brian Sieve describes the estate's Perrières holding as our most active limestone site along with the Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Thoreys. This wine started its malolactic fermentation sur marc--i.e., in the tank before the alcoholic fermentation finished. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Beaune Les Perrières 1er Cru includes one-third whole clusters and matures in around 20% new oak. It has a small reduction on the nose but underneath are lively red and black fruit sporting a faint marine influence. The palate is well balanced with fleshy red fruit, quite sumptuous in the mouth with a caressing red cherry and crushed strawberry finish laced with white pepper. This should offer a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure. |

The palate is well balanced with supple tannin, ripe dark cherry and blackberry fruit leading to a nicely structured, graphite-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. Recommended. |

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. |

Vinous (91-93)(vinified entirely with whole clusters; 40% new oak): Good full red. Lovely high-pitched aromas of black cherry, blackberry, licorice and violet. Deep, sappy and vinous, with an enticing savory/sweet quality to the intense flavors of wild dark berries, violet and graphite. Finishes with firm-edged tannins, a very primary medicinal black cherry note, and lovely floral lift. This will need at least four or five years of bottle aging. Chef de cave Sieve noted that the domain owns parcels on either side of the tower in Clos Vougeot, with part of its vines located in a frost pocket that was hit hard in December of 2009. |

It is fragrant and become increasingly floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of red fruit and impressive mineralité. This is one of the most terroir-driven Cortons of the vintage, presumably its limestone soils are expressed on the finish. Promising. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has one-third whole bunch. It has a precise bouquet and very pure with ebullient red fruit laced with crushed stone. Wonderful focus. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins, fine depth and cohesion, well-integrated oak with dark fruit and brown spices emerging towads the persistent finish. Excellent. Closure: Diam |

Vinous (92-94)The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from Les Pougets and matures in just under 30% new oak. This has a vivacious and tensile bouquet with orange zest and Japanese yuzu aromas that burst from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite taut for a Corton-Charlemagne but it is graced with impressive balance. The spicy finish is welcome. This is a finally crafted Grand Cru. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from a south-facing parcel and sees a little less new oak than the Chevalier-Montrachet. It has a more Zen-like bouquet than the Chevalier-Montrachet, which goes against type considering the vineyards in question. The lightly spiced palate is well balanced with a fine saline entry and good weight toward the lemongrass-tinged finish, which feels persistent and satisfying. Good potential. |

Vinous (93-96)The 2012 Corton Clos du Roi is a model of delicacy and finesse. Dark raspberries, wild flowers and savory herbs all meld together gracefully in a wine that is all about transparency, nuance and detail. Texture and a total sense of polish are some of the signatures that are impossible to miss. Dried herbs, crushed flowers and anise are all woven together nicely through to the finish. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)The 2013 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru, which was two-third whole-cluster fruit, has a well-defined bouquet with very fine mineralité. These aromatics just speak of class. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh and supple tannins, finely-tuned acidity and commendable precision on the finish. This is a refined and sophisticated Clos du Roi in the making and one of de Montille's standouts of 2013. |

Vinous (91)The 2016 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has quite a lot of oak on the nose, although it seems in sync with the redcurrant and cranberry fruit underneath. It is fragrant and become increasingly floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of red fruit and impressive mineralité. This is one of the most terroir-driven Cortons of the vintage, presumably its limestone soils are expressed on the finish. Promising. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. |
