Wines of Montagny – Elegant, great white Burgundy wines

Montagny: the elegance of great white wines from southern Burgundy

The Montagny appellation, located in the Côte Chalonnaise in southern Burgundy, is exclusively dedicated to white wines made from the Chardonnay grape. Recognized as an AOC since 1936, Montagny is renowned for its wines of great finesse, combining freshness, minerality, and aromatic richness. This appellation appeals to lovers of fine white Burgundy wines seeking exceptional value.

A unique terroir between limestone hills and a southern exposure

The Montagny vineyard extends across four communes: Montagny-lès-Buxy, Buxy, Jully-lès-Buxy, and Saint-Vallerin. Benefiting from a temperate continental climate, it enjoys an ideal south/southeast exposure and predominantly clay-limestone soils, conducive to the flourishing of Chardonnay. This combination produces wines that are both full-bodied and taut, marked by a lovely vibrancy and a characteristic length on the palate.

Of the 330 hectares of vineyards classified as AOC Montagny, more than half are Premier Cru, proof of the quality and potential of the terroir. Each Premier Cru vineyard expresses its own identity: more floral, more mineral, or richer, depending on the altitude, slope, and exposure.

Refined white wines and beautiful food and wine pairings

The wines of Montagny are distinguished by their pale gold color and expressive nose with aromas of white flowers, fresh almond, dried fruit, and sometimes even toasted hazelnut with age. On the palate, the balance between freshness and roundness is immediately appealing. They can be enjoyed young for their vibrancy and tension, or cellared for a few years to develop greater complexity.

Montagny pairs wonderfully with seafood, grilled or sauced fish (sea bass, sole, turbot), white meats such as veal or poultry in cream sauce, and pressed cheeses like Comté or Beaufort. It is also enjoyable as an aperitif for its purity and elegance.
