Bourgogne Blanc "Le Clos Du Château" 2020 | Wine from Domaine De Montille

The Domaine de Montille is an essential reference in Burgundy. Founded in the 18th century, this family estate is renowned for its respectful approach to nature. Since 1995, organic viticulture has been practiced, followed by conversion to biodynamics starting in 2005. Thanks to these practices, certified by Ecocert, the wines from the estate fully express the identity of their terroir. Each vintage reflects the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, allowing the Chardonnay to reveal all its complexity.

The Bourgogne Blanc "Le Clos du Château" 2020 comes from a unique vineyard of nearly 5 hectares in a single block, located at the foot of the Château de Puligny-Montrachet. Although classified as AOC Bourgogne, this parcel benefits from a privileged location at the border of the prestigious Puligny-Montrachet appellations. The soil, rich in silt and clay, gives the wine great generosity and a balanced structure.

This Chardonnay is carefully vinified: after a light settling, the must ferments in oak barrels, only 5% of which are new, to preserve the purity of the fruit. The aging process is divided between a phase in barrels and a second in stainless steel tanks, giving the wine remarkable freshness and tension.

The Bourgogne Blanc "Le Clos du Château" 2020 charms with its bright golden color and delicate aromas of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits, and mineral notes. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, revealing beautiful tension. The generosity of the terroir is expressed through a silky texture and a long finish, marked by touches of hazelnut and subtle minerality.

This wine pairs perfectly with refined dishes. It enhances grilled or sauced fish, such as a turbot fillet with citrus cream. Roasted or sauced poultry, like a Bresse chicken with tarragon, also harmonizes with its generosity and freshness. For a vegetarian pairing, opt for a mushroom risotto or asparagus with hollandaise sauce.
