The family's origins can be traced back to the middle of the 17th century at CrĆ©ancey in the Auxois region, with the Lords of Commeau. Then comes the 18th century. 'The domaine pre-dates the revolution; it was created in the 1750s,' states Hubert de Montille. It was re-named de Montille after the union of Marie ElĆ©onore Chauvelot de Chevannes and Ćtienne Joseph Marie LĆ©once Bizouard de Montille, the grandfather of Hubert, on April 9, 1863. 'Montille' as he was known at the time, divided his time between the domaines in Volnay and CrĆ©ancey and the SociĆ©tĆ© des Agriculteurs de France, of which he was one of the founders.
In 1983, after a year in the USA, Ćtienne started working at the domaine. He learned from his father and through his oenology studies until 1990, when he took over the vinifications. In 1995, he became co-manager and began to move the domaine towards organic farming. He also started to adapt the vinifications to his own way of thinking.
In 2001, he returned full-time to Burgundian soil to devote himself to the domaine and the ChĆ¢teau de Puligny-Montrachet. He took full control and asserted his style and philosophy: biodynamic farming, whole cluster fermentation to add aromatics and silkier wines with less austerity. All the while, he remained true to the vision he learned by his father's side: authenticity, purity, elegance and balance.
In 2003, Alix also returned to her childhood love, Volnay. She and Ćtienne created 'Deux Montille SÅur-FrĆØre', a negociant house devoted primarily to white wines. 'All our SÅur-FrĆØre grapes are rigorously selected, harvested and vinified with the same know-how and philosophy as our domaine grapes,' explains Alix. Since 2006 she has taken over responsibility for the domaine's whites, notably the precious Puligny-Montrachet Cailleret Premier Cru and Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. With Ćtienne watching over the reds and Alix the whites, the family history will continue.
In 2003, Ćtienne began to enlarge the domaine with exceptional vineyards and then in 2005 brought back into the fold some Clos Vougeot from the CĆ“te de Nuit and a parcel just next to la TĆ¢che in Vosne-RomanĆ©e "Les Malconsorts"
In 2011, the domaine counted 20 hectares of vines, of which 75% were Premiers or Grands Crus from both CĆ“tes. Read more
