MONTAGNY 1º CRU ALBERT BICHOT 2023

At the southern tip of the Côte Chalonnaise, these vineyards form an amphitheatre on the slopes of four communes, including Montagny-lès-Buxy. This 865-acre appellation, which has 512 acres of Premier Cru vineyards, is dedicated exclusively to the production of Chardonnay.

It was the Romans who first planted vines in the region. From the Middle Ages until the Renaissance, the "Côte de Buxy" was famous and is said to have been the favourite wine of the monks of the abbey of Cluny.

TASTING NOTES

Nose

Inviting, with aromas of white-fleshed fruit and brioche, enhanced by light toast notes.

Palate

This smooth, round wine is balanced by a pleasant mineral tightness that gives it considerable freshness. The long finish is fragrant and delicious.

Food pairing

Try this wine with finely prepared fish and seafood, or with grilled or stewed white meats and poultry.
