Montagny 1er Cru Les Las 2020 - Faiveley
Direct from the property - Domaine Faiveley
THE VINTAGE
2020 is a sunny vintage but the wines show a lot of freshness and no trace of over-ripeness. The winter was mild with very little rainfall. In spring, there were significant frosts but the low humidity in the air preserved the vines. After a second cold period in mid-May, the summer was very dry except for a few isolated storms (Nuits-Saint-Georges - Vougeot). We started the harvest on August 19th, a historically early date, and finished on September 1st.
CHARACTERISTIC OF THE APPELLATION
Montagny is the most southern village of the Côte Chalonnaise, on the edge of the Mâconnais. Chardonnay flourishes in this vineyard with its uneven terrain. With an east/south-east exposure, its steep slopes rise to an altitude of 400 meters.
TASTING
The robe is pale yellow with golden reflections. The nose expresses itself on fresh and floral scents which mingle with aromas of dried fruits. In the mouth, the wine is supple with a good volume while keeping a certain vivacity. Freshness and unctuousness are perfectly combined and give this wine a good balance and a pleasant aromatic persistence.

VINIFICATION & MATURATION
The grapes are cut and sorted by hand. The must is extracted with a pneumatic press, then settled. The alcoholic fermentation is accomplished in 4 weeks in French oak barrels (no new barrels for this vintage). The maturation continues during 16 months with a regular stirring. This allows the wine to acquire delicate woody notes while preserving its freshness and typicity.
