Alittle 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. Learn More

The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumaux, from vines planted in 1946, was cropped at just six to ten hectoliters per hectare this year. It has a harmonious bouquet of Granny Smith apples, fresh pear and subtle scents of passion fruit that betray the sunny period at the end of the growing season. The palate is fresh and crisp with a fine bead of acidity, very succinct and poised with a delightful salinit on the finish. Excellent.
