Domaine de Montille, Monthelie Rouge 'Vin Nature' 2020

The Montille family has been in Burgundy for 300 years, but the wines rose to global fame after Hubert de Montille took over in the 1940s. Based in Volnay, he grew the estate’s holdings throughout Burgundy, consistently making red and white wines that were meant to age for quite a while before opening. In the last few decades, the farming has become organic, and the wines have become accessible earlier, with their elegance and complexity still on full display.

Monthélie, a small town that borders de Montille’s homebase of Volnay, is a consistent source of value in Burgundy. This light and finessed wine is bottled with zero added sulfur, making its flavors particularly vibrant.
