The 2022 Domaine de Montille Volnay Premier Cru Les Champans is an exceptional Premier Cru Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grown in one of Volnay's most celebrated vineyards. Renowned for its elegance, perfume and refined structure, this wine beautifully reflects Domaine de Montille's minimalist winemaking philosophy and the finesse of the Volnay appellation. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, complemented by notes of rose petals, violet, forest floor and subtle French oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully poised texture, delivering flavours of red cherry, cranberry and wild berries layered with hints of delicate spice, cedar and mineral complexity. The finish is long, graceful and beautifully balanced, combining purity with outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Burgundy for lovers of refined Pinot Noir seeking elegance, finesse and authentic Côte de Beaune character. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 12–18 years. Ideal with roast duck, veal, mushroom risotto, truffle-infused dishes or mature Comté cheese.
