The 2023 Domaine de Montille Pommard Les Pézerolles is a Premier Cru Burgundy from one of Pommard’s most respected vineyard sites in France’s Côte de Beaune. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir by the highly regarded Domaine de Montille, this wine reflects the estate’s biodynamic philosophy and restrained winemaking style, focusing on vineyard transparency, freshness and long-term ageing potential. The Les Pézerolles vineyard is known for producing a more refined and mineral-driven expression of Pommard, and the 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with vibrant acidity and fine tannin structure. The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with refined yet persistent tannins and bright acidity that provide structure and energy throughout. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and cranberry unfold alongside savoury notes of dried herbs, clove and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. Domaine de Montille’s use of partial whole-bunch fermentation contributes aromatic lift and textural detail while preserving the purity of the vineyard character. The limestone-rich soils of Les Pézerolles contribute notable mineral tension and finesse, leading into a long, dry finish with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Premier Cru Burgundy for customers seeking a more elegant and finely structured expression of Pommard with classic Côte de Beaune character. The 2023 vintage already shows impressive balance while retaining the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 10–15 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses.
