Domaine de Montille is one of the Cote de Beaune’s most revered producers, and Etienne de Montille’s calling card is just how good even the entry-level Bourgognes are. The Clos du Chateau is his pet project, a single walled vineyard of around five hectares ringing the Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet at the heart of the village. Technically the parcel falls just outside the Puligny-Montrachet AOC boundary, so it carries the humble Bourgogne label, but it sure tastes Puligny-esque to us. Because the clos has no neighbors, Etienne uses it for his biodynamic trials, and the wine reflects that level of care: minerality, lucidity, and substantial concentration. Aged in demi-muids before a final stretch in stainless to preserve nerve. Drink now through the early 2030s.
