One-hundred percent whole-bunch, 55 percent new wood; this is deep and bright purple, with a fine depth of dark black cherry fruit on the nose. Dense crushed fruit notes continue across the palate, backed up by some quality oak. This still needs a little more barrel maturation to knit together. Drink 2022-2038.

This is a vintage to buy from Domaine de Montille without hesitation, whether it be the Bourgogne Rouge, a Grand Cru or indeed anything in between, such as his marvellous Volnays and Pommards. The whites are very smart, too. In common with other vignerons, Etienne and his cellar master, Brian Sieve, have opted for a higher proportion of whole bunches this year. The grapes were picked between 1st and 5th September, with alcohol levels coming in below 13 percent.
