Pinot Noir from Burgundy. The De Montille family considers Taillepieds to be a particularly special Premier Cru vineyard or as they put it, a "Grand Premier Cru." De Montille's parcel in the vineyard is mid-slope and comprised of older vines. This is one of the flagship bottlings of the Domaine and has serious long-aging potential.
These days, De Montille is a Burgundy producer from which we'll drink anything. The historic estate has been around for centuries but by the 1900s was greatly diminished, having sold off much of their land to survive. Hubert de Montille took over in the mid-1940s and with his son, Etienne, brought greatness back to the Estate. They refocused on quality, re-acquired vineyards throughout the Cote d'Or, and transitioned to organic & biodynamic farming. Today, De Montille is widely celebrated (and for good reason).
