This Montagny 1er Cru 2023 made by Domaine Feuillat Juillot is very successful. Rich in quantity but also in quality by bringing very ripe and very healthy grapes, this year gives character and a lot of expression to the wines, all on a very nice balance.

The "Les Grappes d'Or" cuvée comes from 6 plots of old vines classified as Montagny 1er cru.

Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation take place 70% in thermo-regulated vats and 30% in French oak barrels

(from Allier and Vosges). The wine remains on fine lees for 8 to 10 months.

Tasting:

Bright pale yellow colour. Rather discreet nose mixing mineral notes with notes of dried fruit. With aeration, perception of sweet spices and vanilla. Beautiful roundness on the attack with notes of grapefruit and yellow fruits. The attack is supple, well balanced wine with a fresh and invigorating finish. The finish is on zest.

Serving: 12 to 14°

Ageing potential: 5 years and more

Food and wine pairings: Grilled sole, Sea bass fillet with beurre blanc.

food pairing

Intense and floral Burgundy white wine: terrine, small oven, freshwater fish, sushi, crab, prawns, seafood, veal in white sauce, poultry blanquette, poultry fillets, county, gouda, camembert, brie

Wine Characteristics

Montagny produces white wines only. To the eye, these wines present the classic features of a burgundian Chardonnay: limpid, pale gold colour with green highlights when young, darker gold colour with age. Their aromas are acacia, mayflower, honeysuckle, bramble flowers, and sometimes violet and bracken. Of the livelier scents, lemon-balm and gun-flint may be added.
Hazelnut, white peach and ripe pear would not be surprising, either. In the mouth, the wine is always fresh, young at heart, frisky, alluring, and rich in spicy back-flavours. Refinement and delicacy are harmoniously matched to a durably well-built structure.
 

Wine Steward’s Tip

Highly-bred, subtle and rich in delicate nuances, Montagny can be properly matched only with foods of comparable balance and aromatic intensity, for example, veal in white sauce suits it very well. As far as seafood is concerned, steamed or poached crustaceans, noble fish (plain fried, grilled, or, better still, steamed) are well-suited. Paella, made with meat and/or fish, also goes well with this wine since the smoothtasting dish with its diversity of aromas will be lit up by Montagny’s allure and aromatic richness. The same goes for cooked seafood. As for cheeses, it brings out the best in goat cheeses, Beaufort, Comté, Emmental and Saint-Paulin.
Serving temperature: 10 to 12°C.
 

Situation


At the southern end of the Côte Chalonnaise, four villages (Buxy, Montagnylès-
Buxy, Jully-lès-Buxy and Saint-Vallerin), have been banded together as a single Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée since 1936. Hereabouts, as in the Côte de Nuits or at Chassagne-Montrachet, wine-growing and stone-quarrying amicably share the landscape. Buxy, with its 12th century fortifications, is an important heritage site and retains its independent spirit. The wine, grown only from Chardonnay grapes, breathes freshness and clarity. The monks of Cluny preferred it to any other.
 

Terroirs

Facing East and South-East these hillsides of Bajocien limestone are planted with vines at altitudes of 250-400 metres. Marls and marly limestones of the Jurassic lias and older trias (200 million years BC approx.) make an ideal terroir.
The gravelly lower Triassic which surfaces at Buxy is in contact here with the Kimmeridgian limestone which dominates in the geology of Chablis.

Estate

Domaine Feuillat Juillot

Created in 2004 by Françoise Feuillat-Juillot, the estate is one of the few wineries on the Côte Chalonnaise to be run by a woman.

Hence the "Montagny au Féminin" claimed, all the more true today as Camille has joined her mother in the management of the farm.
