2018 Bourgogne Blanc, Clos-du-Château, Domaine de Montille

Description

Domaine de Montille’s Clos-du-Château is one of the finest examples of white Burgundy. It is produced from a vineyard within the grounds of the Château de Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. Mineral and fresh with lovely, ripe peach fruit flavours, this is a versatile wine to enjoy with an array of dishes. Smoked salmon, ham, rich vegetarian recipes or even a cheeseboard are all delicious accompaniments. Personally, I would enjoy a glass or two on their own.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 85-87/100

The 2018 Bourgogne Blanc comes from vineyards acquired in 2011/2012 and located near Château de Puligny-Montrachet, and is vinified in 600-liter barrels. It has a light bouquet with scents of green apple and a touch of seawater developing with aeration. The palate is steely on the entry with a fine bead of acidity. There is good tension here, and a briskly citric, lightly spiced finish.

Friendly and enveloping, de Montille's 2018 Bourgogne Blanc Le Clos du Château bursts with aromas of orange rind, pear and musky peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate. Already charming and expressive, this will drink well young.

About this wine

Bourgogne

Bourgogne

In the Burgundy hierarchy, “Bourgogne” denotes the entry level of the classification system. This is a so-called “regional” appellation, theoretically covering the entire vineyard area of Burgundy. This is distinct from the more geographically precise village-level, Premier Cru and Grand Cru designations. The two most common Bourgogne-level wines are Bourgogne Blanc (“White Burgundy”) and Bourgogne Rouge (“Red Burgundy”).
