This was a bright, crisp, medium to medium-high acid French white burgundy that was a little less mineral than Chablis. $375 at Joujou, I preferred the champagne for $325. — 2 months ago

A property I have visited. This cuvée has traditionally been one off my favorites from this producer.

Not what I expected. First off vintage of the vineyard and producer I love. A bit too lean. — 4 months ago

Again great berries, pronounced tree bark w/ sap, some dry tannin profile, teeth, round earthiness, grand acidity and balanced elegance. — 4 months ago

Sourced largely from Les Longbois in Volnay with additional parcels in Puligny-Montrachet, this shows lifted red cherry, strawberry, cinnamon, and a hint of stemmy spice. The palate is plush and slightly lean, with bright acidity and fine, chalky tannins. More about balance and transparency than generosity, finishing fresh and savory. — 5 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of strawberry, raspberry, sous bois, red flowers, horse blanket, mushroom and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is a fairly textbook example of the 2014 vintage with its rustic green streak coupled with Lignier’s charm. Drink now through 2029. — 7 months ago

Medium rubi robe, nose of asian spices, flowers and a bit of dark cherries. Elegant tannins buried under good feuit and a silky texture. This got to be the best De Montille wine we got in a long while. — a year ago

Wow! This wine is terrific! Lovely mouthfeel here with tart red fruits and a savory/Sous Bois character that makes me wonder if whole cluster was used. Long and complex. — 4 years ago

30 years. Fresh and bright out of the gate. Some cherry, quite acidic. Chalky. So for a good hour I was thinking man - great vintage, site and wine maker but was not really convinced. 12 hours later the wine is still in the same spot now with some oxygen. Basically I expect old burghs to be unique - rare one offs with secondary flavor profiles (what was that?) - this was not it. Classic may be - but not more. I would argue drink this up more years will not make a difference. — 3 months ago

Last had 2 years ago and the extra time has been good to this. Really a lovely burgundy with some rotisserie chicken on the first snowy day of the season in New York. Red fruit, light earth, and minerality all in balance and expressing very nicely. Finishes with good acid and a real lift. Delicious. — 6 months ago

A beautiful deep red fruited nose along with earth. On the palate the wine appears angry that I disturbed its sleep. Gives me the red fruit found on the nose along with plums and throws in some spice & minerals. The finish was as if the wine threw the blanket over itself and told me to turn off the light and get out of the room. — 8 months ago

Probably needs a few years. Opened a bit with an hour of air. Still slightly green, with the fruit seeming somewhat veiled. Noticeable tannins. Solid food wine and still expressive and enjoyable, but not quite at the level I was hoping. — 2 years ago
