Description
In a nutshell:
A wonderfully floral and zesty Côte Chalonnaise white with characteristic minerality.
The lowdown:
Lively and mineral fresh as youd expect from Montagny the ripeness of the fruit also stands out strongly giving a nice bit of roundedness. This all makes it nice and full in the mouth which is a result of eight months ageing on lees. This is a clean, pure and very well made white burgundy.
The Producer:
The owner of this excellent Côte Chalonnaise estate, Françoise Feuillat-Juillot, who, being the daughter of Michel Juillot, a long standing and highly regarded winemaker in the village of Mercurey, grew up amongst the vines and barrels of her family domaine. After studying oenology she joined forces with grower Maurice Bertrand whose estate was situated in Montagny at the southern end of the Côte Chalonnaise where Chardonnay is king. She continued to run the estate after Maurice's death in 2002 and was eventually able to take ownership a few years later. She now has 14 hectares of wonderfully sited, mainly old vines, spread amongst 13 different premier crus in the area. She practices a very strict and meticulous form of sustainable viticulture, works the soils mechanically and all grapes are picked by hand. This approach has certainly paid dividends because her wines are now regarded as some of the best of the appellation.
When to drink:
This is delicious all by itself and, with food, pairs really well with shellfish and the likes of grilled plaice and sole.
