"Bright pomegranate and black cherry aromas, with floral notes and a hint of spice. There is plenty of freshness and a slightly rustic, tannic edge on the palate, yet the wine is showing nicely and should age well over the mid-term. De Montille has 1.62ha in Beaune Sizies at the foot of the slope in fairly deep clay soils. Picking started early here, yet there is nothing tart or astringent about the wine. The grapes were vinified with one-third whole-cluster and aged in 15% new casks." Decanter 93p
"One third whole bunch, selected from the middle-aged vines not the old or the young. Mid purple, with an unassertive nose. Quite firm and crunchy behind..." Jasper Morris 89-91p
