2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans, Domaine de Montille
Mitans lies plum in the middle of the Volnay slope. Winemaker Brian Sieve decided on 100% whole bunch fruit for this small cuvée, whose yields are invariably tiny. The results are impressive: a pale colour with a delicate perfume of peonies and cherries. It is light, elegant, and rather beautiful. The tannins are fine-grained and slick.
