  September 14, 2023 - Nez discret mais plaisant, qui pinotte doucement, avec du sous-bois, un peu de cave humide.
  
  Il a la puissance naturelle du crû, mais celle-ci est contenue dans un gant de velours, avec une belle texture civilisée, une finale assez longue, un peu amère, qui s’étire avec une certaine gourmandise liée au millésime mûr. Le seul bémol est une certaine austérité qui se dégage de l’ensemble, qui a déplu à ma douce. Je l’ai davantage apprécié. 91 pts

  January 10, 2022 - Nose muted but coaxed to life after 30minutes of air. Red fruits…strawberry and rhubarb with a hint of baking spices. Palate is balanced with lively, well rounded acidity. Floral but not over the top. Very vibrant and refreshing.

  November 28, 2021 - From half bottle sealed under Diam. Immediately expressive, with highly perfumed florals and ripe berry fruits. It has nice flesh and good depth and plenty of mineral lurking just below the surface. There's a touch of undergrowth and a finish that is expressive and expansive.

  October 29, 2020 - Lots of cured and roasted meat notes, tobacco too, and a little smoke. Dried cherry and plum keep coming up, but this is overall much more savory than fruity. Mushrooms, dark soil, pine needles and cloves provide accents to the intense meatiness. Full and a little chunky, with rather rustic tannins. It has great acidity for 2009, but de Montille always seems to have a strong acid line, so I'm not exactly surprised by that. It became slightly fresher and fruitier with air, but I'm not so confident in its ability to improve with time in the bottle. I would give it a decant if I had the opportunity to open another bottle soon. If I did have more, I would keep checking up on it, as I'm not sure there's much room for improvement. Very nice, classically styled, quite serious, but not particularly fine example of Beaune Greves. It's a tangy meat bomb, and if you like that kind of thing you'll have a lot of fun with it. Save it for some fatty roasted fare and you will be making the most of it.
