Domaine de Montille, Bourgogne Rouge (Burgundy, France) Pinot Noir 2022 ($46, DeMeine Estates)

Domaine de Montille, one of Burgundy’s leading producers, has been organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2005. They have a stunning array of wines that focus on finesse rather than power. With grapes coming come exclusively from their home base in Volnay and plots in Puligny-Montrachet, this refined Bourgogne Rouge is a fine introduction to their style. The first impression is of a light-weight wine. Then your palate wonders where all the flavors came from in this “lightweight” wine. Its graceful texture makes it a joy to drink now.
