Domaine Cottenceau Vigne du Soleil Montagny 1er Cru 2020

The sunniest vineyard in Montagny, says winemaker Maxime Cottenceau. With a name like this — the vines of the sun — how can it not be? Estate vines here face south/southeast, at the base of the slope of premier cru ‘Montcuchot.’ Soils are deep and dark, rich in clay and small white stones (limestone). Complex and savory, with piles of sunny ripe fruit that still retains impressive persistence and definition on the palate. One to age (if you can keep your hands off it now).
