Domaine de Montille Clos du Château Bourgogne Blanc 2022

Domaine de Montille Clos du Château Bourgogne Blanc 2022

100% Chardonnay from the walled vineyard right in front of the Château inside the village of Puligny-Montrachet, this over-achieving Bourgogne Blanc is stellar year in and year out.

Domaine de Montille Clos du Château Bourgogne Blanc definitely shows the floral and mineral notes in the nose that make the village famous. Good length and buttery, citrus fruit make this a great wine at any price, but this “little” wine from an estate with an embarrassing array of riches can stand up to the best of them.

The Appellation:
Domaine de Montille Clos du Château Bourgogne Blanc 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 the village, very close to the AOC Puligny-Montrachet vines. The deep soil, made up of silt and clay, endows the wine with beautiful generosity.

Winemaking:
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 mostly from Allier, light toasting. The wines are racked about a year later before being transferred to stainless steel vats for the second phase of their aging in order to retain freshness and minerality.

Vine Growing:
Organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2005. All our wines are certified by Ecocert.
