Meursault "Les Clous Dessous", Maison de Montille - 2023

In the rarified world of Burgundy, every domaine has a story. And yet, not every tale is as fascinating, and triumphant as that of Maison de Montille, whose origins date to the 14th century. Montille’s massive estate, which once included vineyards across multiple crus, dwindled to under 3 hectares by the 1940’s when Hubert Montille began the turnaround. Today, Hubert's son has expanded the winery’s reach with Mason de Montille, a project focusing on small and undervalued terroirs from throughout Burgundy. The Meursault "Les Clous Dessous", typifies the project: the grapes are biodynamically farmed and harvested and aged in a mix of old and new barrels. The result is a Chardonnay that’s rich, yet elegant, with aromas of yellow apple, toasted nuts, vanilla, and honey that give way to a full, balanced palate. A tale worth savoring.
