This Montagny 1st Cru 2018 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 2019 allows to give character and a lot of expression to the wines, all on a very nice balance.
This vintage perfectly represents the Montagny appellation. This white wine from Burgundy based on Chardonnay offers complexity and very beautiful aromatic richness: Floral on the nose and will reserve in the mouth dried fruits, hazelnuts but also white flowers, this wine from Montagny in Burgundy will share floral elements like acacia and honeysuckle. On the fresh fruit side, you can find pear or peach. Spicy notes are also present in the mouth.
This Montagny is raised in oak sd butts

2024Montagny 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
