The Domaine de Montille is a Burgundy wine estate that today extends over 35 hectares of vines, 75% of which are Premiers and Grands Crus on the two Côtes, on prestigious red appellations, premiers crus in Vosne-Romanée, Volnay and Pommard and grands crus in Corton and Clos Vougeot and in white, premiers crus in Chassagne-Montrachet, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet and great vintages in Corton, Charlemagne and Chevalier-Montrachet.
The origins of the estate date back to 1730 and it took its current name in 1863. It is then composed of about twenty hectares of superb terroirs planted with Pinot Noir, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuit, in particular in Musigny, Bonnes Mares or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Amoureuses". These plots were gradually sold and the estate fell apart until 1940 to represent only 2.5 hectares of Volnay 1er Cru.
The arrival of Hubert de Montille after the war, a lawyer like his father, torn between the vineyard and the law, changed everything. He conducted his first harvest in 1947 and decided to bottle his wines at the estate rather than entrust his harvest to the merchants, as was common practice at the time.
A new viticulture was born, which would bring the wines of the Domaine de Montille to the top of the great estates of Burgundy. In 1983, his son Etienne made his debut at the estate, became head of vinification in 1990 and co-manager in 1995. From the beginning of the 2000s, Etienne de Montille focused his efforts on the expansion of the estate, with a return to the roots in the Côte de Nuits, Clos-Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée, on plots with "La Task" as their neighbour.
In particular, Etienne de Montille undertook the conversion of the estate to organic farming and then, from 2001 onwards, to biodynamics: total abandonment of chemical fertilizers and herbicides in 1985, synthetic fungicides and insecticides in 1995, organic certification by Ecocert Bio in 2012.
