Domaine Stéphane Aladame Montagny 1er Cru Les Coères 2021, Burgundy, France. From a tiny 0.5-hectare east-facing parcel in Montagny-les-Buxy on deep marl and blue clay soils at 290 metres altitude – planted 1985 with some Chardonnay Muscaté – this Domaine Stéphane Aladame Montagny 1er Cru Les Coères 2021 reveals ripe pear, lemon curd, hazelnut and white flower aromas with saline minerality.

Fermented and matured 10 months in neutral 350-litre oak, it delivers increased density with stone fruit purity, juicy texture, vibrant energy and chalky drive across a refined, mouthwatering palate – a step-up in finesse from the domaine’s village wines. Roast veal, grilled scallops or aged Comté shine alongside; claim this Côte Chalonnaise treasure for elegant thrill.
