Note di degustazione
(this was one of the estate's least hail-affected vineyards in 2001, according to current winemaker Brian Sieve; vinified with 50% whole clusters and aged in just 10% new oak): Medium red with an amber rim. Musky aromas of redcurrant and truffle, plus a hint of balsamic sweetness. Wonderfully silky, seamless, harmonious wine with complex flavors of strawberry, raspberry, plum, minerals and earth. Full of fruit and given shape by superb underlying structure. This utterly delicious wine finishes impressively long and suavely tannic, with lovely spicy lift. Father and son Hubert and Etienne de Montille shared responsibility for this vintage.

(70% destemmed) Medium red. Aromas of cherry, smoke, earth, licorice and flowers. Pure and aromatic in the mouth, with good plump texture and notes of cherry, herbs, licorice and underbrush. Perhaps a bit pinched toward the back, but clean for the vintage. (My samples of Volnay Champans and Taillepieds seemed compromised by hail, although Etienne is confident that the latter wine will soften with time in bottle.)
Big and gritty. Lots of acidity. Chewy and at the moment there's a hole in the middle. (JR)

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.
