"Almost whole-cluster fermented, delivering blueberries, sour cherry and a savoury, balanced finish. Structured and authoritative without excess weight."
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.
Domaine de Montille is one of Tim Atkin's Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine Producers.
What the critics say:
"A fuller ruby colour, just completed malolactic, really sprightly on the nose, fruit and flowers flowing together with just the lightest seasoning of pepper, two thirds whole bunch. Plenty of energy at the back with slightly darker fruit, and a more tannic structure. I like the balance of this. *4/5 stars*"
"The 2024 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru includes two-thirds whole cluster this year. It has an exquisite bouquet with minerally red berry fruit that blossoms in the glass. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, good grip, the stems nicely integrated and imparting quite a potent pepperiness on the finish. Not the precision of the previous vintage but it positively brims with character."
