In addition to his commitment to natural viticulture, one of Etienne’s greatest contributions has been the expansion of the de Montille holdings to include some of the Cote d’Or’s greatest terroirs. Over the years, by means of careful acquisitions, the domaine acquired prime vineyards up and down the Côte, with the highlights being the acquisition of fine parcels such as Puligny Cailleret in 1993, Corton Charlemagne in 2004, and parts of the Thomas-Moillard estate in 2005 (with Domaine Dujac) – including parcels in Vosne-Romanee Les Malconsorts, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Clos du Roi, Beaune Grèves and more.
