This was, for lack of a better term, a bit foursquare. Surprisingly fat for a 2007, with fine tannins but not at all aggressive. However, it wasn't super interesting either. I think it's in the beginning of its drinking window and I'll wait 2-3 years with the next bottle (again, surprising for the vintage).

Decanted at home into screwcap bottle and consumed 4 hours later. Needs time. Nobody guessed 2007. Paler than Volnay Mitans. Still not fully mature but very fine and perfectly sound. Needs quite a few years. De Montille impresses consistently (perhaps not Deux Montille though).

A little tight and aromatically unyielding initially, but with air this opens into a really beautiful, delicate and fragrant Burgundy. There's a core of incredibly pure cherry and strawberry fruit tinged with gentle floral, herbal and stemmy notes, a crushed stone-like mineral character beneath and wonderful purity and clarity to the flavours.
