Domaine Hubert de Montille Volnay 1er Cru Les Champans 2019

Hubert’s Son, Étienne, Joined The Domaine In 1983, Took Control Of The Cellars In 1990, And By 1995, He Was Co-managing Alongside His Father. It Was That Same Year That The De Montilles Started The Slow Conversion Of The Estate To Organic Farming—a Choice Which Took Their Old-school “terroirisme” To A Whole New Level. In 2005, They Began Implementing Biodynamic Principles, And In 2012, They Earned Their Official Organic Certification.

In 2006, Hubert’s Equally Accomplished Daughter Alix Joined As The Winemaker For Whites. Gifted Businesspeople And Vignerons Like Their Father, Étienne And Alix Ventured Into Parallel Pastures: In 2003, They Also Launched Deux Montilles Sœur & Frère, A Small Négociant, And In 2012, They Bought The Château De Puligny-montrachet Which Étienne Had Been Directing Since 2001.

Throughout Their Tenure, Hubert And His Children Have Worked Hard To Expand The Family Holdings Parcel By Parcel. Thanks To Their Efforts, Domaine De Montille Now Consists Of 20 Hectares Of Land In 20 Appellations—with A Staggering 75% In Premier Cru And Grand Cru Vineyards Throughout The Côte D’or.
