The Uncrowned Grand Cru of Meursault in Rare Magnum Format
2020 Domaine de Montille 1er Cru Les Perrières Meursault Magnum
If the 1855 classification happened in Burgundy, Meursault Les Perrières would be a Grand Cru without a moment's hesitation. It is universally acknowledged as the single greatest vineyard in the village—a site of pure limestone that produces wines of such piercing minerality and tension that they regularly outperform neighboring Grand Crus like Bâtard-Montrachet. While Perrières from cult producers like Coche-Dury and Roulot now command $2,000 to $4,000+ a bottle, Domaine de Montille offers a d…

Tasting notes
Aroma
A piercing, high-frequency nose of struck match, crushed limestone, lemon oil, Granny Smith apple, and white flowers, with a deep, cold mineral undertone.
Palate
Electric and vertical on the palate, with a laser-like acidity cutting through the density of the fruit. The finish is saline, chalky, and practically endless, leaving a sensation of crushed rocks on the tongue.

In Detail
A collector’s holy grail: The most prestigious Premier Cru in the Côte de Beaune, from the electric 2020 vintage, bottled in 1.5L for the long haul
If the 1855 classification happened in Burgundy, Meursault Les Perrières would be a Grand Cru without a moment's hesitation. It is universally acknowledged as the single greatest vineyard in the village—a site of pure limestone that produces wines of such piercing minerality and tension that they regularly outperform neighboring Grand Crus like Bâtard-Montrachet. While Perrières from cult producers like Coche-Dury and Roulot now command $2,000 to $4,000+ a bottle, Domaine de Montille offers a distinct opportunity to access this hallowed terroir for a far more rational price.
This offer is particularly special because of the format. We have secured extremely rare 1.5L Magnums, the absolute gold standard for aging White Burgundy. The 2020 vintage is already being hailed as a modern classic—a year of intense heat that somehow retained razor-sharp acidity. It produced wines of crystalline purity and vibration.
In the hands of Brian Sieve at Domaine de Montille, who favors a style of tension and aromatic lift, this 2020 Perrières is a sword of a wine. It is tightly coiled, profoundly stony, and built to evolve for decades. In a magnum, this wine is virtually immortal. It is a centerpiece for any serious cellar.
