Chassagne Montrachet 2017 - Domaine de Montille

  

The name

Our Chassagne-Montrachet vineyard of 0.67 ha comes from two vineyards in the area known as "Champs Derrières" and "Les Houillères", the latter being situated in the commune of Puligny, near Bâtard-Montrachet, on a semi-calcareous soil giving a minerality, an unusual finesse and a tension to the wine which perhaps brings it closer to the wines of Puligny than to the more opulent and honeyed wines of Chassagne.

The wines, the style : 

Domaine De Montille's wines are renowned for their great aromatic purity. We always favour balance and elegance over power and extraction. The wines are a classic expression of Burgundy, their appellation in general and their terroir in particular. The cultivation methods used contribute to this sought-after personalisation and the vinification process must avoid all excesses and instead seek the point of balance where the Burgundy terroir will find its rightful place.

The harvest is entirely manual and thanks to the use of pneumatic presses, we can modulate our presses according to the quality of the grapes and the profile of the vintage. After a light settling, the musts are put into barrels, mainly of 600 litres and also of 228 litres, where the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place.

We use about 5 to 20% new barrels with wood coming essentially from the Allier, with a long and light toasting. The first racking takes place after about a year of maturing in wood to begin the second phase (4 to 6 months) in stainless steel vats in order to keep the wine fresh and taut. We conclude this ageing process with a light fining followed by an equally respectful filtration of the wine before bottling.

Cultivation of the vine

The wines previously produced under Château de Puligny-Montrachet will join Domaine de Montille from the 2017 vintage onwards. We introduced organic farming on the entire Château de Puligny-Montrachet estate in 2002. Our wines are certified ECOCERT. Since 2005, biodynamic farming has complemented these practices, which are respectful of the soil and of life.
