Color

Nose

Floral, lively and mineral nose. This wine is typical of the Côte Chalonnaise.

Palace

Mouth of a beautiful amplitude with notes of dried fruits and almond. Consistent and fresh finish which carries the wine.

Grape variety

Chardonnay

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.
