Origin

At the southern tip of the Côte Chalonnaise, 4 villages (Buxy, Montagny-lès-Buxy, Jully-lès-Buxy and Saint-Vallerin) share the Montagny appellation, which only produces white wines.

Soil type

An ideal terroir for Chardonnay, made of limestone and marl soils.

Winemaking

Traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed as soon as they arrive in the vat room in pneumatic presses. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out partly in barrels and partly in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. The aging then continues for 10 months. The cuvée aged in barrels is then blended with that aged in stainless steel vats.

THE REGION

Burgundy is one of France’s main wine-producing areas. It is well known for both its red and white wines, mostly made from Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes, respectively, although other grape varieties can be found, including Gamay, Aligote, Pinot blanc, and Sauvignon blanc. The region is divided into the Côte-d’Or, where the most expensive and prized Burgundies are found, and Beaujolais, Chablis, the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon. The reputation and quality of the top wines, together with the fact that they are often produced in small quantities, has led to high demand and high prices, with some Burgundies ranking among the most expensive wines in the world.[14]
