Volnay 1er Cru “Les Mitans” 2009 — Domaine Hubert de Montille, Magnum 1.5 L
The Volnay 1er Cru “Les Mitans” 2009 from Domaine Hubert de Montille, offered here in magnum 1.5 L, is a fine Côte de Beaune bottle for lovers of refined Pinot Noir. Les Mitans is one of Volnay’s most elegant Premier Cru climats, with a rare ability to combine perfume, silkiness, depth and delicate texture.
The 2009 vintage brings generous ripeness, fuller fruit and immediate charm. The profile evokes red cherry, ripe raspberry, strawberry, soft mint, dried flowers, blond tobacco, fine spice and a discreet earthy nuance. The magnum format adds further appeal: slower evolution, impressive presence at the table and stronger cellar value.
Les Mitans, one of Volnay’s great climats
The Les Mitans climat lies mid-slope in the heart of Volnay, with a favourable eastern exposure. Its name reflects this central position, highly valued for producing balanced wines: enough depth to age gracefully, yet always with the grace and silky touch that define Volnay.
The de Montille style gives this cuvée a classical and refined expression: whole-cluster vinification, tension, structural freshness and aromatic finesse. In the warmer, more generous 2009 vintage, this approach brings an attractive balance between ripe fruit, Pinot Noir energy and floral elegance.
Tasting notes
Appearance: luminous ruby-garnet, still bright, with a discreet and noble evolution from bottle age.
Nose: refined and expressive, with red cherry, raspberry, ripe strawberry, soft mint, dried flowers, blond tobacco and fine spice. With air, notes of fine earth, light forest floor, black tea and warm stone add complexity.
Palate: silky, deep and beautifully balanced, with ripe fruit, fine tannins and an elegant structure. The finish is long, floral, spicy and delicately earthy, in a style that feels generous but never heavy.
Expert view
94/100 — Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Antonio Galloni
Burghound — Sweet Spot Outstanding
Antonio Galloni describes the Volnay Les Mitans 2009 as one of the domaine’s fine successes in this vintage, with notes of mint, dried flowers, tobacco and red cherry. The wine stands out for its depth, airy style and the personality brought by whole-cluster vinification. Burghound also distinguishes this cuvée as a “Sweet Spot Outstanding”. In magnum, this Volnay Premier Cru becomes even more desirable for lovers of ageworthy Burgundy.
The 2009 vintage, magnum format and serving advice
The 2009 vintage in red Burgundy produced ripe, generous and charming wines, with beautifully expressive fruit. In Volnay, this ripeness becomes especially attractive when balanced by Pinot Noir finesse and the natural elegance of the terroir.
The magnum 1.5 L format is ideal for this type of Premier Cru: it encourages slower evolution, preserves freshness and offers beautiful presence for a fine meal or prestigious gift. Serve at around 15 to 16°C in large Burgundy glasses. Open in advance and allow the wine to breathe gradually in the glass, avoiding forceful decanting.
Key point: a Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans 2009 from Domaine Hubert de Montille in magnum, rated 94/100, floral, silky, deep and ideal for lovers of elegant Burgundy.
Food pairings: roast pigeon, duck with cherries, veal fillet, truffled poultry, gently roasted beef, mushroom risotto, quail, dishes with morels, pink-roasted lamb, aged Comté or mature Burgundy cheeses.
