Domaine de Montille Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Aux Malconsorts 2022 is an extraordinary expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Combining remarkable depth, aromatic complexity, and exceptional elegance, this wine captures the sophistication and distinctive terroir of Vosne-Romanée at its finest.
Situated immediately south of the legendary La Tâche Grand Cru vineyard, Aux Malconsorts is widely regarded as one of the finest Premier Cru sites in the Côte de Nuits. Its exceptional location and limestone-rich soils produce wines of remarkable concentration, refined structure, and extraordinary aging potential.
Under the direction of Étienne de Montille, Domaine de Montille has become internationally celebrated for its precise, terroir-driven wines and dedication to organic and biodynamic viticulture. The estate's Aux Malconsorts is particularly prized for its ability to combine the seductive richness of Vosne-Romanée with remarkable freshness and mineral definition.
The outstanding 2022 vintage delivers an alluring bouquet of black cherries, ripe raspberries, wild strawberries, and dark plums, beautifully interwoven with notes of violets, rose petals, exotic spices, and subtle forest floor.
On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet remarkably graceful, revealing layers of succulent dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and vibrant acidity. Hints of licorice, crushed stone, and delicate savory spice add complexity, while its silky texture and exceptional balance lead to a long, sophisticated finish.
A magnificent expression of one of Burgundy's most celebrated terroirs, the 2022 Aux Malconsorts offers the depth and refinement expected of a truly exceptional Premier Cru. Built for extended cellaring, it promises to develop even greater aromatic complexity and elegance with time.

96–98 Points | Jasper Morris, Reviewed January 2024
90% whole cluster. A ruby edge to the purple colour. A hauntingly beautiful bouquet, brilliant rose petal notes, the lovely fragrance of Gloire de Dijon springs to mind, with the delicacy of really fine red berry fruits. Incredible intensity in such a refined manner, very beautiful long fresh finish. Excellent. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted Oct 2023.
Food Pairing: Exceptional with roasted duck breast, venison, herb-crusted lamb, beef tenderloin, truffle risotto, wild mushrooms, and refined game dishes.
