Whilst 2018 may well be Aline Beauné’s first ever solo vintage, she’s no stranger to winemaking in the Cote Chalonnaise. For 15 years she has been heading up the winemaking for Château de la Crée (a domaine based in nearby Santenay) when a few years ago she decided it was time to do it all herself. So when the Buxy co-operative’s lease on 5ha of her families 12ha of Montagny vines came to an end she jumped at the chance. Her 5ha are found in the commune of Saint-Vallerin and are split between; 12.5% Aligoté, 25% Bourgogne Blanc, 50% Montagny Villages and 12.5% Montagny 1er cru Chazelle.
750 ml Low StockFirm, steely, citrus fruit, white peach and a steely minerality on the nose. Mid to full-bodied the palate is dense and powerful, unpacking with huge acidity, cooked lemon, slate and grapefruit. Bone dry, clean and zippy with a real punch.
Drink with roast pork, chicken or halibut.
