Domaine de Montille Clos du Château Chardonnay

The Domaine de Montille Clos du Château Chardonnay is a superb expression of Burgundian white wine, offering remarkable precision and minerality for its classification. Sourced from a walled vineyard within the village of Puligny-Montrachet, it provides exceptional value and a clear glimpse into the estate’s prestigious terroir.

The historic Domaine de Montille, now led by Etienne de Montille, has a storied reputation for producing wines of great purity and elegance that are built to age. The estate is a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy, focusing on low yields and non-interventionist winemaking. This commitment to terroir places them among the most respected and sought-after producers in the Côte de Beaune.

In the glass, the wine presents a pale lemon-gold hue with brilliant clarity. The nose is vibrant and precise, revealing aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, and a distinct note of crushed flint. On the palate, it is energetic and saline, with a core of crisp green apple and citrus flavors leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.

For the optimal tasting experience, serve this Chardonnay lightly chilled at around 10-12°C (50-54°F). Its bright acidity and stony character make it a beautiful pairing for oysters, grilled sea bass, or goat cheese salads.
