Tasting Notes
"Les Pézerolles", at the northern end of the appellation, borrows from Beaune its delicate bouquet and structure. It is the most refined Pommard as it typically makes feminine wines akin to Volnay, located paradoxically on the other side of the village. Our parcel sits in the heart of the cru, the best part of which was formerly part of "Le Clos de Pézerolles".
The name comes from the old French "Poizerolles", which around the 12th century meant "chickpeas". It is likely this legume was cultivated next to vines.
If "Les Rugiens" is the Grand Cru of Pommard, "Les Grands Épenots" is the archetype of the appellation and "Les Pézerolles" is an outsider. It can be difficult to identify this Pommard in blind tastings because it is atypical. Its floral, perfumed and yet subtle aromas mix with small red and black fruits which are framed by a rather light, svelte and feminine structure accompanied by a simultaneously generous yet tense texture. - Winery Note
The Domaine de Montille was established in Volnay in the middle of the XVIII century. Today it farms 20 hectares of vines, essentially Premier and Grand Crus, mainly in the Côte de Beaune but also in the Côte de Nuits. The domaine produces about 8,000 cases covering 20 appellations. During the XX century, Hubert de Montille wrote the finest pages of the domaine’s history. The lawyer and his children have always strived to return their domaine, which had declined in the past, to the stature it once enjoyed. Furthermore, it is thanks to Hubert that during the 1960’s the domaine became renowned around the world.
