The intriguing mineral finish provides the perfect culmination to the tasting experience. Each bottle represents eloquent craftsmanship and the rich, traditional viticulture of Domaine de Montille, making it a highly collectable wine for any connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

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.
