Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy's great reference points for Pinot Noir made without cosmetic intervention — wines that are lean, precise, and built to last. Les Cras sits on the northern edge of Pommard, just below Volnay, and it shows: there's an elegance here that isn't typical of Pommard's more muscular reputation, with fine-grained tannin and a cool, iron-edged character that sets it apart from the richer, chunkier wines further south in the appellation. The 2017 vintage across the Côte de Beaune produced wines of real concentration — a warm, dry summer after a frost-reduced crop — and Les Cras has responded beautifully with depth without heaviness.
