2022 Domaine de Montille Bourgogne Blanc ‘Le Clos du Château’

BH87-89 A slightly riper nose combines notes of just sliced pear and apple along with background nuances of floral and zest trimmed in mildly more wood influence. The rich, delicious and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors possess just a bit better depth and persistence on the firmer finale. This too is very good, indeed it could pass for a lower-level villages wine. Drink: 2027+. Outstanding/Top value
Estate Notes: After a light settling the musts are put into 228 and 600-liter-barrels to complete the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations.We work with 5 to 20% new barrels with wood coming mostlyfrom Allier light toasting. The wines are racked about a yearlater before being transfered to stainless steel vats for thesecond phase of their aging in order to retain freshness andminerality. This Bourgogne comes from a vineyard of approximately 5 ha in one piece located at the foot of the Château de Puligny-Montrachet. It is entirely enclosed which facilitates our biodynamic cultivation method. Although classified as AOC Burgundy this vineyard is remarkably well located in thevillage very close to the AOC Puligny-Montrachet vines. The deep soil made up of silt and clay endows the wine with beautiful generosity
