a return to taste: de montille 06 bourgogne
It’s been a long time since I posted, and I think there have been too many “harvest” entries and not enough slurping – so here is a TN for you. It may have been the occasion – a pique-nique en famille – or merely the fact that this… Read More
de montille beaune 1er cru les aigrots 2005
Beaune 1er cru blanc today! 2005 de Montille, Beaune 1er Blanc Les Aigrots Medium-pale yellow. Lot’s of high-toned, sherbet notes over stony fruit and occasional hints of brioche. Good freshness, and not too much of the plump fat you often get in white Beaune. Read More
05 beaunes from de montille and des croix
Two nice wines to contrast. Both are ripe and forward and both went through different phases but each retained a distinct personality – I suspect less from the winemaking as the underlying terroir. I would very happily rebuy both – if any were available at initial pricing! 2005… Read More

a new owner of the nsg clos des grandes vignes…
Part of the de Montille disposals to fund the purchase of the Château de Puligny; unofficially, we’ve known about the new owner for the last couple of weeks, but as the words finally trip from his own mouth, I think I’m safe enough to broadcast it 😉 Based on… Read More
1998 denis mortet gevrey-chambertin
1998 Denis Mortet, Gevrey-Chambertin I’ve opened one of these almost every year since release – it’s rare that I buy a 12-bottle case, but occasionally ‘research’ is important! Frankly, due to the oak treatment this has been a roller-coaster ride. Last year I didn’t think so highly of the… Read More
