In 2012, the Domaine became organic certified, and today the estate owns over 37 hectares, a majority that are Grand and 1er Crus. Winemaking utilizes whole cluster fermentations, long macerations and mostly neutral barrel aging. Today’s style is a classic and terroir-driven approach with great aromatic expression and unctuous textures in the reds and radiant purity and exemplary freshness and finesse in the whites. These ageworthy wines capture the essence of terroir. Now internationally renowned, the winery is known as equal parts pioneer and benchmark. Winemaker Etienne de Montille Winemaker Bio Etienne de Montille fell into his passion for wine when he was very young as a part of his family's business. He took over winemaking from his father, Hubert de Montille, in 1990, and began the shift towards organic farming (1995) and biodynamic farming (2005). Under his leadership, he expanded vineyard acquisitions in the Côte de Nuits (Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges) including Malconsorts in Vosne-Romanée, as well as Château de Puligny-Montrachet, which included around 15 ha of Chardonnay. He has augmented his father’s winegrowing philosophy and cemented the Domaine’s style: authenticity, longevity, purity, elegance and balance.
