Domaine H. de MONTILLE (Meursault) -- 2016 Part I: Côte de Beaune Reds Tasted from Barrel Samples


Harvesting for de Montille and associated Château de Puligny-Montrachet began on 17 September. There was light chaptalization for a couple of cuvées, otherwise none, and no acidification.

The vintage required 13 treatments for mildew and oïdium vs. 8 in 2017.
