The wine
En Vergisson is one of the twenty-two climats promoted to premier cru in Pouilly-Fuissé in 2020, the first new premiers crus created in Burgundy for decades.
Vergisson sits beneath its own limestone escarpment in the Mâconnais, and its wines are the firmest and slowest to open of the appellation. Pouilly-Fuissé had no cru hierarchy at all until that promotion, despite being the finest white appellation of the south. Maison de Montille is the négociant arm of Domaine de Montille, buying fruit from growers farmed to the same standard, with the domaine certified Ecocert from 2005.
The producer
Maison de Montille
View all Maison de Montille winesThe de Montille name is one of the most respected in Burgundy, a family rooted in Volnay and celebrated for a pure, structured and uncompromising style. Maison de Montille, the family's négociant house, extends that philosophy across the Côte d'Or under the guidance of Étienne de Montille.
The focus is unwavering: expressive, transparent wines that speak of place. Fruit is sourced from carefully chosen sites, many farmed organically and biodynamically, and vinified with restraint to preserve freshness, minerality and detail.
The range spans white Burgundy of finesse, from a flinty Pouilly-Fuissé to a taut, high-altitude Saint-Romain, through to distinguished reds such as the structured Pommard 1er Cru. Each is marked by clarity and classic Burgundian poise.
Refined, ageworthy and true to their origins, the wines of Maison de Montille offer Burgundy as it should be: elegant, precise and deeply satisfying.
