Tasting Notes

Pure and finely detailed, with stone fruit and white flowers on the nose. The palate is juicy and mouthwatering, carried by a salty, mineral thread. It finishes long, with real class and plenty of energy.

Product Highlights

Stéphane Aladame was 18 when he founded his domaine in 1992. He has spent the decades since making Montagny's case, one Premier Cru at a time. Les Coères is one of eight Premier Cru parcels he farms, and he owns just half a hectare of it. The site faces east at 290 metres, in deep marl and blue clay on the Montagny-lès-Buxy side of the hill. Aladame says his wines sit closer to Chablis than to the Côte d'Or. Credit the limestone and the shallow soils, which keep everything taut. He favours neutral barrels, so the rock does the talking rather than the oak. In the glass it's pure and finely detailed. Think stone fruit and white flowers, a salty edge and a juicy, mouthwatering line through to a classy finish. This is for anyone who loves white Burgundy but has watched Côte d'Or prices climb out of reach. Neal Martin of Vinous puts it simply: Montagny's calcareous soils have "a lot of untapped potential". Aladame is the one tapping it.
