Structure first makes its presence known here, with Domaine de Montille’s Volnay Les Taillepieds 2021 offering cool red and dark berry fruit layered with violets, fresh earth and a stony, mineral edge. The whole-cluster approach brings lift and aromatic spice, while the palate is tightly woven, firmly tannic yet finely etched, finishing long and classically restrained for this premier cru.
Roast duck with cherries; Herb-crusted lamb rack; Mushroom and Parmesan risotto

Domaine de Montille’s Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds is a mid‑slope, south‑east facing parcel of old‑vine Pinot Noir planted on light brown clay with abundant gravel, cultivated organically/biodynamically; the domaine’s small (c.1.5 ha) bottling is noted for its peppery, dark‑berry and black‑tea aromatics with bay‑leaf herbal notes, medium body, firm tannins and clear ageing potential that combines Volnay’s floral finesse with a mineral, stony underpinning.
