Note di degustazione
The de Montille 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Caillerets displays an alluring, exotic – practically erotic – bouquet of lily, musk, and white truffle. Superbly concentrated, with creamy richness of texture and ripe peach and pear, wreathed with persistent inner-mouth flowers and tinged with citrus zest, this finishes with lift and refinement, as well as seductive, uncannily floral and nobly fungal persistence. This should hold up to at least 4-5 years in bottle although I am not convinced even that long a stay is really warranted. Alix de Montille is in charge of the white wines at her family’s domaine (and under the negociant “Deux Montille” label), while her brother Etienne continues to take the lead with the reds (while also directing the Chateau de Puligny).

Spring flowers, crushed stone and white truffle on the nose. Concentrated and round but with real verve to its racy flavors of apple, pear, minerals and stone. This densely packed wine mounts slowly and saturates the palate on the very long, floral finish.
Reticent, high-pitched nose offers lime, white peach, minerals and white flowers. Sweet, dense and very rich but with a sappy quality and limey lift giving it superb energy. Very stylish wine with excellent delineation.

Volnay’s Domaine de Montille is one of the most historic in the Côte d’Or. Founded in 1730, the property remains family-owned and run, with Etienne de Montille – the ninth generation – at the helm today.
