Producer Information

Domaine de Montille is a Burgundy producer known for its Pinot Noir from highly regarded vineyards in Cte de Beaune and Cte de Nuits. The family has an extensive history in Burgundy, and the estate has carried the de Montille name since 1863. During much of its history it sold grapes to ngociants – common practice for vineyard owners in the early 20th Century. The domaine also sold off whole parcels of land, significantly reducing its original holdings. Hubert de Montille inherited the remaining 2.5 hectares (6 acres) in Volnay and vinified his first vintage in 1947. In the following decades, he turned the domaine into one of the top red Burgundy producers, gradually accumulating parcels of land in various communes along the Cte d’Or. By 2011, the estate had grown to 20 hectares (50 acres) with 75 percent of its land in Premier or Grand Cru vineyards. This was more or less doubled by the purchase of Chteau de Puligny-Montrachet the following year (see below). Its most sought-after wines come from plots in Corton, Pommard, Vosne Romane Aux Malconsorts and has grown to include plots of Chardonnay in Puligny-Montrachet’s premier cru Le Cailleret vineyard as well. In the 1980s Hubert’s son, tienne, began working at the domaine, followed by his daughter, Alix.
