2023 Domaine du Cellier aux Moines Montagny 1er Cru Les Charmelottes

Romanee Conti’s Winemaker 96 pts Suckling From 86 Year Old Vines DRC Winemaker

From vines planted in 1939 comes a glorious white burgundy that should not be missed. I could not believe what I heard. DRC Winemaker makes a white Burgundy that we could offer for under $85 a bottle that got huge press, 96pts by Suckling. This is a Wow! Wait till you taste it. The roots of Clos du Cellier aux Moines can be traced back 900+ years to the infamous Cistercian Monks that called Burgundy home. Phillippe Pascal after decades of as an executive at LVMH, working as CEO at the Moet Hennessy Group, decided to make Burgundy. In 2004 he purchased Cellier aux Moines, revitalized the operation and hired Marko Guillaume, whose resume includes stints at Arnoux-Lachaux and Domaine de la Romanée Conti, who’s wines sell for $1000 and up. Need I say more……!

Forget everything you expect from this appellation. Such a dynamic wine. So salty and chalky with a concentration and brilliance that take your breath away. Amalfi lemon, orange and fresh-pineapple aromas. Extremely long, complete finish with a beautiful creaminess. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold. 96pts Suckling
