The 2023 Domaine de Montille Chevalier-Montrachet Magnum (1500ml) is a Grand Cru white Burgundy from one of the most prestigious Chardonnay vineyard sites in Puligny-Montrachet, France. Produced by the highly regarded Domaine de Montille, this wine reflects the estate’s biodynamic philosophy and restrained approach to winemaking, focusing on precision, mineral tension and long-term ageing potential. The magnum format allows the wine to mature slowly and evenly, preserving freshness while building additional complexity over time. The nose is layered and refined, revealing aromas of white peach, lemon zest and pear alongside chamomile, toasted almond and fine chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and remarkable concentration balanced by precision and freshness. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and orchard fruits unfold alongside subtle creamy texture and restrained oak influence from careful barrel maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Chevalier-Montrachet contribute notable mineral depth and saline tension, while the magnum format enhances harmony and long-term development. The finish is long, dry and persistent with lingering citrus, hazelnut and mineral nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional large-format Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a cellar-worthy Chardonnay with precision, depth and world-class vineyard pedigree. The 2023 vintage combines richness with freshness and should evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years in magnum format. Best served lightly chilled with lobster, scallops, roast poultry, truffle dishes or aged hard cheeses.
