The 2023 Domaine de Montille Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts is a Premier Cru Burgundy from one of the most prestigious vineyard sites in Vosne-Romanée, located in France’s Côte de Nuits beside the famed La Tâche vineyard. 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 precision, vineyard transparency and long-term ageing potential. The 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with vibrant acidity and refined tannin structure, resulting in a wine of both power and finesse. The nose is layered and intensely perfumed, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, exotic spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky yet persistent tannins and bright acidity that provide structure, depth and remarkable balance. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and cranberry unfold alongside savoury notes of clove, dried herbs and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. Domaine de Montille’s use of partial whole-bunch fermentation contributes aromatic lift and fine textural detail while preserving the purity of the vineyard character. The limestone-rich soils of Les Malconsorts contribute notable mineral tension and length, leading into a long, dry finish with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with exceptional finesse, depth and classic Vosne-Romanée character. The 2023 vintage already shows impressive balance while retaining the capacity to evolve beautifully over the next 12–18 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, mushroom dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
