The Deux Montille 2007 Montagny Les Coeres smells of buddleia, fresh lemon, toasted seeds, and piquant lemon pip. Polished and silken in texture and with deep, toasted nut richness, wet stone, and peach kernel bitterness underlying its citrus and seeds on the palate, this at the same time preserves plenty of nettle-, lemon zest-, and salt-tinged invigoration, with lots of refreshment in its pointed, prominently citric finish. I fancy it will be worth following for 4-5 years, although I have not had opportunity to track previous vintages. In the course of its six years, this negociant business of siblings has mourned the loss of a few excellent contracts, but continues to be an expanding source of impeccably rendered, consistently nuanced (and almost exclusively white) Burgundies. Alix de Montille puts special emphasis on ferreting out excellent sites in the less fashionable villages of the Cote d'Or, as well as in the Cote Chalonnaise. The resulting wines are expensive relative to their appellations but not to their quality. (For more about Alix de Montille's approach – avowedly influenced by that of her husband, Jean-Marc Roulot – readers are urged to consult my report in issue 180.)Various importers, including Beaune Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel.
