Domaine de Montille Description
The Puligny-Montrachet comes from three quarters of a 1.1 ha plot located in AOC Puligny 1er cru "Les Chalumeaux" which was downgraded during its replanting in 1975 by the INAO because the previous owner had brought in about twenty cm of exogenous soil, which is prescribed by the specifications. Since then, both erosion and the organic farming practiced by the estate have caused the roots to sink towards the original terroir which gives the Puligny-Montrachet an unusual density and complexity for an village wine and places it, quality wise, halfway between a very good village and a 1er Cru. It is the only village level vines Puligny-Montrachet to be in the middle of hillsides, in the middle of the 1er Crus. The other two plots are "Les Levrons" and "Boudrières - Nosroyes" for 0.38 ha.
Vinous: 87-89 Points
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village has a pretty nose with Granny Smiths, greengage and touches of white asparagus; the underlying mineralité becomes more evident with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, saline and lightly spiced towards the composed finish. This is a decent Puligny Village.
Burghound: 86-89 Points
Here the expressive nose is similar to the straight Bourgogne but with slightly better layering along with a floral top note. There is better volume to the nicely dense and succulent flavors that also exude a touch of rusticity on the clean and dry finale. This is worth checking out.
