Domaine de Montille's Les Taillepieds sits on one of Volnay's steepest, most mineral-driven slopes, where Hubert de Montille's purist philosophy meets limestone-rich soils that give this wine its signature tension. We find the 2019 captures everything we love about this premier cru: the silky elegance that makes Volnay so seductive, wrapped around a core of stony minerality that speaks directly to the vineyard's chalky bedrock.

This is Burgundian Pinot Noir built for the long game. The fruit is pure and concentrated without being heavy, the tannins fine but present, and there's a crystalline quality that suggests this wine will unfold beautifully over the next fifteen years. Perfect for those who understand that great Burgundy rewards patience.
