The credentials of the De Montille family go back to 1730, when the Burgundy estate was founded by Hubert de Montille. He boasted 20 hectares of vineyard in prime locations. Over the decades these were sold off, so that by the 1940s, there was a mere 2.5 hectares. Then the second Hubert de Montille arrived and it was all change. He was a true pioneer. He stopped selling wine to négociant and began estate-bottling, producing wines of authenticity and purity, angular in their youth, but excellent with time. His son Etienne had big shoes to step into, but has more than filled them, introducing biodynamic methods in the vineyard and whole bunch fermentation. This is a fine Nuits, racy fruit, floral, structured and long. "A delight" (J Morris).

"The fruit is completely a delight and very harmonious. Feels like they've moved closer to Vosne" Jasper Morris MW
