Albert Bichot Montagny 1er Cru comes straight from the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise. It displays a delightfully mineral and woody palate.

Montagny is one of the best kept secrets in the whole of Burgundy. Compared to other wines in the Cote Chalonnaise, the Montagny appellation is much richer and with a fuller body than rival appellations. It is a very good value alternative to some of the other expressions of Chardonnay further north in the Cote d’Or.

The grapes for this wine grow in clay-dominant soils in the southern tip of the Cote Chalonnaise.

Vinified for 6-8 weeks in 15% of new French oak barrels with the remainder in stainless steel, the wine is then blended and matured together in oak for a further 14-16 months. 15% of the wine ages in new oak, with the remaining 85% in old oak.

This wine is wonderfully expressive showing lots of varietal character. It boasts fresh minerality alongside vanilla, brioche and almond notes from the oak treatment. Drinking well now, but will also reward careful cellaring for the next five to six years.

Enjoy Albert Bichot Montagny 1er Cru with finely prepared fish and seafood. It also shines with grilled or stewed white meats and poultry. Serve chilled between 11 and 13°C.
