In the heart of the bustling ‘capital’ of the wine region, nearly everything is planted with Pinot Noir, yet the small amount of Chardonnay grown here produces increasingly impressive wines each year. De Montille’s tiny parcel, Les Aigrots, lies on a gentle, limestone-based slope, and the wines from this site are always defined by fruit, balanced structure even in their youth, and direct, pure flavours.

The wines of the 2022 vintage exude confidence. After the challenging 2021 season, it rewarded growers both in terms of quantity and quality. With its intense flavours, it offers plenty to those who are just discovering the wine region, while its complexity can also captivate seasoned Burgundy enthusiasts. A true crowd favourite.
