Burgundy & Beyond: Three Terroirs with Louis de Montille at SOMM

Description

Explore Burgundy, Hokkaido and California with Louis de Montille at SOMM, bringing together wines from Domaine de Montille, de Montille & Hokkaido and Racines alongside a five-course menu.

Begin with Racines’ sparkling Chardonnay before discovering Hokkaido’s Kerner and Chardonnay.

A side-by-side pairing of Pinot Noir from Hokkaido and California follows, before a 2005 Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds, served from an ex-domaine magnum. Throughout the evening, Louis will share insights into the wines and the projects behind them.

🍇 Meet the Producers

Domaine de Montille — Burgundy

With origins dating back to around 1730, Domaine de Montille’s modern history began in 1947 with Hubert de Montille. His son Étienne later expanded the estate’s holdings across the Côte d’Or, embracing organic farming and biodynamics while preserving the elegance, vineyard expression and ageing potential associated with the domaine.

Racines — California

Racines brings together Étienne de Montille and Brian Sieve of Burgundy with Rodolphe Péters of Champagne. Based in California’s cool, ocean-influenced Sta. Rita Hills, the collaboration produces Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and traditional-method sparkling wines, seeking purity, balance and a clear expression of place.

de Montille & Hokkaido — Japan

Launched by Étienne de Montille in 2016, this project brings together French and Japanese teams to explore Hokkaido’s winemaking potential. Early vintages used grapes from growers in Yoichi, while planting began in Hakodate in 2019. The winery was completed in 2023, alongside the first estate harvest.
