Les Tourelles de la Cree Montagny Premiercru Blanc 750 ML

Grape variety: Chardonnay Age of the vines: 35 years Appellation: The Burgundian region of Montagny has a rich and storied winemaking history and is dedicated to growing and producing Premier Cru Chardonnay. Its limestone-rich soils yield white wines of sophistication, and consistently high quality. Vineyard: Crafted by Château de la Crée, the venerable 15th Century wine estate, Les Tourelles de la Crée offers a pure and authentic expression of Burgundy. Our Burgundy appellations create bright and vivid wines with complex and intense aromas. Characteristic: The vines growth cycle benefited from a very warm summer, and with budburst in early April, it was ahead of norms and maintained this lead right up to the harvest. Everything happened very quickly. There were a few spells of heatwave over the summer, alternating with some rather mixed weather. Ripening nonetheless progressed at a good pace. At the beginning of September, the first grapes were harvested. The harvest continued to mid-September, each plot being picked when it reached optimum ripeness. The only downside was that some areas that were impacted by spring frost did not provide the yields that had been hoped for. Wine-food pairing:  Fish and shellfish, onion tarts, as well as a wide variety of soft and hard cheeses such as Brie, Beaufort or even Saint-Nectaire... Tasting note:  Its aromas are acacia, mayflower, honeysuckle, bramble flowers with notes od hazelnut, white peach and ripe pear. In the mouth, the wine is fresh, young at heart, frisky, alluring, and rich. Refinement and delicacy are harmoniously matched to a durably well-built structure.
