2005 Domaine de Montille Volnay 1er Cru Champans

“En Champans” is one of the largest and most renowned crus in Volnay. “Champans” comes from the association of two words “champ” (field) and “pans”(incline) that can easily be translated as "Champ en pente" (slope). The upper part of the plot is made up of limestone with light brown soil, whereas the lower part is more clayey, with brown to reddish soil. Our vines stretch over the entire hillside and benefit from optimal sunshine.

The wine and the style

Today’s style remains faithful to Hubert's classic and terroir-driven approach, with greater aromatic expression, silkier and more unctuous textures in the reds, allowing them to drink earlier, without compromising their ability to age. The domaine is known in Burgundy for using a significant proportion of whole clusters that varies from one to cuvée to another depending on the plant material and the vintage.
