2018 Domaine Jean-François Protheau Bourgogne Montagny 1er Cru
This Premier Cru cuvée from Domaine Jean-François Protheau comes from the best classified vineyards of Montagny, the most south-westerly of the Côte Chalonnaise's white-only appellations. It shows the more concentrated, age-worthy face of this often-overlooked Burgundian gem.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay.
Terroir: Premier Cru parcels on south-facing slopes with deep clay-limestone soils, planted at altitude for added freshness.
Vinification & ageing: Hand-harvested grapes are pressed gently and fermented in oak. Aged for around 12 months partly in French oak barrels (a portion new) with regular bâtonnage on the fine lees.
COLOUR: Pale gold.
NOSE: Layered bouquet of orchard fruit, lemon zest, white flowers, hazelnut and gentle oak spice.
PALATE: Full-bodied, mineral and structured, with fine acidity and a long, refined finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Pair with lobster, scallops, poultry in cream sauce, veal and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 11-13°C. Drink now or cellar 5-8 years.
We deliver in Sofia and across Bulgaria. Pickup available at the bar at 33 Sveti Kliment Ohridski Street during opening hours.
