Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Perrières', Domaine de Montille, 2024

Est. delivery in 2027

"More serious and mineral, with darker fruit, subtle grip and a savoury edge. Less immediately charming, but finely built and clearly destined to reward patience."
Ksenia Pashkova, Club Merchandiser

2024 was a genuinely demanding year in the Côte de Beaune. Persistent rain and humidity from spring through harvest slashed yields and put relentless pressure on vineyard work, with timing and selection absolutely critical. At de Montille, decisions were calm, precise and unapologetically classical. Picking was about accuracy rather than courage, extraction was handled with restraint, and élevage kept firmly in service of site expression.

The results are quietly impressive across both colours. These are not showy wines, but deeply articulate ones: transparent, savoury, and built to age. In a vintage where excess was an easy trap, de Montille has delivered wines that speak clearly of place, confirming once again why this remains one of the Côte de Beaune’s most serious and intellectually satisfying domaines, even when conditions are at their most uncooperative.

"Showing a transient aromatic funk at this stage, the wine is lively, almost feisty, brimming with energy and barely contained in the glass. The nose offers red and blue fruits layered with spice, rose petals and distinct notes of garrigue (wild Mediterranean scrub brush). On the palate, it is bright, juicy and finely layered, combining freshness with real complexity and balance. Already delicious, yet clearly built for development, it should begin to properly show its range of character in five to six years, with greater depth and poise emerging probably after around 8 years. Delicious!"
