The Vineyard

12 to 14 months in oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
The nose is dominated by floral hints which gradually give progress to honey and dried fruits (hazelnut). A full-bodied, elegant fine wine. The power of Chagnots combined with is richness usually makes it a very good wine for laying down.
Accompaniment
Salmon or tuna tartar, codfish with mild spices, fish terrine, caramelised king prawns or sea food ravioli gratin, and delicate and refined dishes all pair perfectly with the finesse and richness of our Montagny 1ercru. The charolais veal with its white sauce, Bresse poultry, and cheeses (Comté, Beaufort, Emmental, goat) are also excellent accompaniments for this wine.
