Tasting notes
Friendly and enveloping, de Montille's 2018 Bourgogne Blanc Le Clos du Château bursts with aromas of orange rind, pear and musky peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate. Already charming and expressive, this will drink well young.

Bottled. Racy, lemony and rich – a very good combo! Not cheap but very good. Quite exotic. Is this exhibiting something imported from their new southern California outpost? (JR)
The 2018 Bourgogne Le Clos du Château has a tightly wound bouquet that needs a little more fruit intensity; it’s too Zen-like at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine bead of acidity, moderate weight and a slightly attenuated finish that leaves me wanting a bit more.
