The 2023 Domaine de Montille Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a finely detailed red Burgundy produced from Pinot Noir grown across select vineyard sites in France’s Côte de Beaune. Crafted by the highly regarded Domaine de Montille, this wine reflects the estate’s biodynamic farming philosophy and restrained winemaking style, focusing on freshness, precision and vineyard transparency rather than excessive extraction or oak influence. The 2023 vintage delivered bright fruit purity balanced by vibrant acidity, resulting in a wine that is both approachable and classically structured. The nose is expressive and lifted, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry alongside subtle floral notes, dried herbs and delicate earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh natural acidity that provide balance and energy throughout. Flavours of red berries, cranberry and plum skin are layered with subtle spice, forest-floor nuances and gentle savoury notes developed through careful maturation. Minimal oak influence allows the purity of Pinot Noir fruit and regional character to remain central, while the limestone-rich soils contribute freshness and mineral detail. The finish is dry, smooth and persistent with lingering red fruit and soft earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for customers seeking an elegant and approachable Pinot Noir with freshness, finesse and classic Côte de Beaune character. The 2023 vintage drinks beautifully in its youth while retaining enough structure to evolve over the next 4–6 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or soft-rind cheeses.
