Montagny Premier Cru “Meline”
Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy

2008

A gorgeous Premier Cru Montagny from Burgundy—a very under-rated appellation and hence excellent value for money. This is the beginning of the ladder which produces the world's finest white wines—a bargain.

Our tasting notes

Lemon, straw colour with mellow aromas of honey. Smooth rich, round, full and fresh—well balanced wine with good acidity. Great white burgundy that is very affordable. This is a food wine—perfect with all shellfish or fish—or for that matter by itself.

About Montagny

Montagny lies in the Côte Chalonnaise, a narrow strip of land in Burgundy that is sandwiched between the Côte d'Or to the north and the Mâconnais to the south. It remains exclusively a white wine producer with just over 260ha of Chardonnay planted on clay-limestone soils, producing crisp, complex and minerally wines with a dry finish.

It is a great source of good value white Burgundy—away from the ambitious pricing of the Côte d'Or, a lot of the producers are turning out excellent Chardonnay for a fraction of the prices these wines might fetch further north.

Prices are all-inclusive for deliveries within the Republic of Ireland. Minimum total order is 1 case (12 bottles of 75cl equivalent) and may be mixed 2 cases (24 bottles of 75cl equivalent) of your choice.
