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 Cote 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.

Tasting notes
Our Montagny 1er Cru "La Grande Roche" 2016 shows a pale yellow color with bright reflections. The nose is very floral with aromas of honeysuckle and white hawthorn. Ample in the mouth, of a beautiful roundness, notes of white fruits appear with a peppery finish.
