"Vosne-Romanée (153 hectares) is home to some of the most precious and rares wines in the world. The southern border of the famous Grand Cru "La Tâche" (monopole of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) is called "Aux Malconsorts". An appellation with a total surface area of 5.86 hectares that benefits from an exceptional placement - with the altitude, exposition and a soil type very similar to its illustrious neighbor, it could be a Grand Cru. Domaine de Montille has the privilege of working with two parcels of "Les Malconsorts", this one covering 0.89 hectare with the soils in the higher part (light brown clay with pebbles) being different yet very complimentary to those at the bottom (deep red clay). The origin of the term "Malconsorts" is uncertain but it may indicate a troubled history of ownership with court battles required to assert or defend ownership of this magic place. The wines from "Les Malconsorts" are of a prodigious finesse and elegance. The aromatic complexity of its floral, perfumed and often spicy notes are extraordinary; the silky tannins, the depth and the ethereal character of the body give the wine an airy dimension. They are among the wines that reveal the most refined and successful expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir. This is a Grand Premier Cru: a Premier Cru that rivals the Grand Crus." de Montille
"Taut and fresh on the nose, this offers a mixture of red and black fruit with hints of brine and black olive. There is a crystalline quality to this cuvée. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and sapid, with black cherries and bilberry fruit, gaining weight towards the finish that exerts a gentle grip. Tightly wound on the finish." Vinous
