Alcohol percentage: 13.5%
Area:
Montagny in the Côte Chalonnaise is unusual amongst the big four AOCs there in that it is only allowed to make white wines (from Chardonnay of course).
Grape variety:
100% Chardonnay
Producer:
Jean-Marc was one of Burgundy’s great patriarchs – with a permanent beaming smile – who made nearly 50 vintages at The Domaine before retiring. Today the wine making is overseen by his daughter Lydie and her husband François Alzingre.
Vintage:
This is a blend of sites from Premier Cru vineyards – grown on clay limestone soils – 100% fermented in French oak barrels (25% new) with 11 months ageing on lees.
Maturity potential:
This wine could still be cellared for another 5 years developing a nuttier edge to the fruit profile.
