Tasting note

Fine-tuned white from this prestigious appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise, all apples and almonds, with a faint spritz of lemon and a fresh, green waft of fern on the nose.

Viticulture

Montagny, part of Côte Chalonnaise, is the southernmost appellation with vineyards forming a horseshoe on limestone and clay soil. Planted with 10,000 vines per hectare, Guyot-pruned, deliberately low yields at 57 hl/ha unveil terroir nuances.

Vinification

Grapes are purchased from vineyard owners who are trusted supply partners. Very slow pressing, to respect fruit. The juices from the last pressings are not used.

The wine goes directly into barrels after "débourbage" (decanting of white wine to reduce sediment).

Ageing in barrels (20% in new oak for a period of 6 to 8 months.

Food Match

Veal in white sauce suits it well, as do paellas and seafood gratins. Shellfish and noble fish fresh from the frying pan or grill are also accepted at an elegant pairing for this wine.
