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 and partly (20%) in French oak barrels, of which 10% are new. The maturation continues during 12 months with a regular stirring of the lees, the other part of the vintage being matured in vats. This allows the wine to acquire delicate woody notes while preserving its freshness and typicity.

When to drink this wine : 2022 - 2030
Tasted by William Kelley in 2022: "The 2020 Montagny offers up aromas of crisp white peach, spring flowers, freshly baked bread and honeysuckle. Quite powerful, lively and structured, it is exceptionally chiseled and concentrated this year, standing out as the best communal Montagny I have ever tasted from 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.
