Food pairing
Asparagus - rabbit galantine - trout with almonds - sheeps cheese
Tasting notes
Pale golden in colour, on the nose the Montagny 1er Cru "La Grande
Roche" 2012 offers aromas of yellow fruit and muscat . These fruit flavors can be found in the
mouth coming together with notes of brioche. A very ample wine, with a nice freshness and
good persistence.
Description
The appellation of Montagny lies approximately 30 kilometres to the south of Beaune in the
rolling folds and hills of the southern part of the Côte Chalonnaise. Montagny is a 100% white
wine appellation originating solely from Chardonnay grapes and giving a fresh white wine that is
an uncomplicated representation of its parent grape variety. The high quality of the vines is a
direct consequence of their limestone bedrock and admirably oriented slopes. The vineyard of «
La Grande Roche » is quite high up on the hillsides, catching plenty of sunshine which aids
the great concentration of flavours in the grapes.
