Domaine de Montille Pommard ‘Les Cras’

The Domaine de Montille Pommard ‘Les Cras’ is a quintessential expression of Premier Cru Burgundy, expertly balancing the appellation’s characteristic power with remarkable finesse and minerality. This age-worthy Pinot Noir showcases the meticulous, terroir-focused winemaking for which the estate is renowned.

Domaine de Montille is a legendary Burgundy estate, championed by the late Hubert de Montille for its pure, elegant, and long-lived wines. His children, Étienne and Alix de Montille, now steward the family’s exceptional vineyard holdings with a commitment to biodynamic viticulture and minimal intervention. The domaine is celebrated for producing wines that are profound reflections of their specific terroir rather than just a house style.

In the glass, the wine presents a brilliant ruby hue, releasing complex aromas of tart red cherry, wild raspberry, and damp earth, with subtle hints of spice and crushed stone. The palate is structured and precise, revealing a core of concentrated red fruit supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity. It culminates in a long, persistent, and impeccably balanced finish.

For the optimal expression of its nuanced character, serve this Pommard at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-65°F). It pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as roasted duck breast, game birds, or an earthy mushroom risotto.
