The Beaune Premier Cru "Les Sizies" is an introduction to our Premier Crus. With our Bourgogne Rouge, it allows the discovery of the de Montille style and the cachet of the Domaine, which favors purity and elegance.
"Sizies" comes from the name of the property's owner in the 18th century, Renaud de Sessie, who owned large tanneries in Beaune.
This vineyard of 1.62 hectares, planted on clay-driven soils at the foot of the slope, offers us a wine of generous pleasure with lots of fruit that can deliver its full potential even in its youth. It drinks well without too much of a wait, but it can nonethless surprise with its aging capacity of approximately 15 years.
The wines, the style
Domaine de Montille is known to craft wines with great aromatic purity, always favoring balance and elegance over power and extraction. The wines are classic expressions of Burgundy, produced in the most natural way possible and possessing an impressive ability to age, as the family believes only time can reveal the true potential of the greatest wines. The domaine's current style remains faithful to Hubert's natural and idealistic approach, which demanded considerable patience while waiting for appropriate drinking windows for certain vintages. Etienne, however, has taken up the task to bring greater aromatic expression and silkier and more unctuous textures to the reds, allowing them to drink earlier, without compromising their ability to age. The domaine is known in Burgundy, among others such as Arlot, DRC, Dujac and Leroy, to regularly vinify using a significant proportion of whole clusters, varying by cuvée and by vintage.
