Bordering the legendary Grand Cru La Tâche, Aux Malconsorts is widely considered one of the finest Premier Cru climates in the Côte de Nuits, rivalling Grand Cru status in its power, aromatics, and structure. Domaine de Montille holds a prized 1.37-hectare flagship plot here, producing a Pinot Noir celebrated for its aristocratic refinement and intense dark-fruit core.
The 2021 vintage showcases classic cool-climate elegance with remarkable aromatic lift and energy. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant ruby-red colour. The nose opens with an alluring bouquet of crushed red cherries, black raspberry, dried rose petals, and exotic spices, underlaid by a subtle iron minerality and faint orange peel notes. On the palate, the wine delivers silkiness with underlying muscularity: ultra-fine, chalky tannins support a pure, focused core of red fruits and vibrant limestone-driven acidity, carrying through to an extraordinarily long, spice-tinged finish.
Farmed using strict organic and biodynamic practices with a significant proportion of whole-cluster fermentation, the 2021 Aux Malconsorts is a quintessential collector's Burgundy built for long cellar evolution.
