A little bit of luck, a little bit a gift” is how Jean-Marc Vincent describes the opportunity to work with grapes from the lesser-known appellation of Montagny. At the southernmost end of the Côte Chalonnaise, Montagny produces wines that have the roundness of southern Burgundies while maintaining the balancing, bracing acidity so appreciated in the Côte de Beaune. Among the Vincents’ premier crus, this one distinguishes itself by its charming accessibility and subtle tension that supports but doesn’t dominate an irresistible fleshiness.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 91 Points

"The 2017 Montagny 1er Cru is performing very well from bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, honeycomb, peaches and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple, with succulent acids, an expressive core of fruit and a chalky finish. This is an elegant, open-knit but lively Montagny that demonstrates what's possible in this appellation."
