The 17th Century Chateau named for this world-famous Chardonnay producing village has changed hands many times during its history. In 2001 the owners hired Etienne de Montille, son of famous Côte-de-Beaune wine maker Hubert Montille, to take over farming and production. He immediately instituted changes in the vineyards and cellar and began turning "good" wines in to great ones.

In 2012 Etienne and his sister Alix (a star winemaker too) purchased the property so it is now officially in the Montille Family of wines. It's a perfect marriage of an iconic estate to a renowned and highly pedigreed family domaine. Indeed the name "Montille" is itself an iconic brand in Burgundy now.

Why? What’s so great about the de Montille wines? Everything. Attention to every detail: in the farming, the winemaking, even the corks they use. They are biodynamic, which works particularly well in a clos with no neighbors to spray chemicals on nearby rows. They harvest by hand, age in a mix of woods, and manage to make all the tiny little choices that individually are hard to identify as so important but that, aggregated, are what make great wines great.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2022 Pommard Les Cras has a tightly wound, loamy bouquet with more black than red fruit, a subtle marine influence in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, not powerful but taut and fresh with a bright, sapid finish. Very fine." -Neal Martin

Decanter

D 93
"This village-level climat is on the far side of Grande Rue in Pommard, at the base of the premier cru band in fairly deep clay soils. The old vines here deliver a classic Pommard style, with aromas of black plum, tobacco, and leather, underpinned with a saline mineral note. The texture is firm, almost hard, but with time, this wine should open to give lovers of Pommard the flavours they love."
