Domaine de Montille is renowned as one of the finest estates in Burgundy. While the origins of the Domaine date back to around 1730, its modern history began in 1947, when Hubert de Montille started making the domaine’s wines at the age of 17, following the death of his father. Four years later, he took full responsibility for the domaine.

At that time, the domaine consisted of only 2.5 hectares. Hubert had trained as a lawyer and continued to work both as a lawyer in Dijon and as the winemaker at the domaine until his retirement. Hubert’s children, Etienne and Alix (who was married to Jean-Marc Roulot), began helping at the domaine at a young age. Etienne also worked as an investment banker. However, by 1990, Etienne took on more responsibilities, and in 1995, he became a co-manager of the domaine (though he continued to work in the bank until 2001). Under his leadership, the domaine’s reputation soared. Through careful acquisitions, the domaine expanded its holdings, acquiring prime vineyards across the Côte d’Or. Key acquisitions included a fine parcel of Puligny Cailleret in 1993, Corton Charlemagne in 2004, and parts of the Thomas-Moillard estate in 2005 – including parcels in Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts, Clos de Vougeot, and more.
