Bavencoff, Premier Cru Montagny Blanc – 2022

A refined expression of Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise, Bavencoff Premier Cru Montagny Blanc 2022 showcases the purity, precision, and mineral elegance of Chardonnay from this distinguished Premier Cru appellation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this vibrant vintage combines expressive orchard fruit, lively acidity, and subtle richness, delivering a sophisticated white Burgundy with remarkable freshness and terroir-driven character.

Brilliant pale gold in color with luminous green reflections, it opens with captivating aromas of white peach, ripe pear, green apple, and lemon zest, beautifully layered with notes of acacia blossom, citrus flowers, fresh almond, and delicate flinty minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, refined texture, revealing flavors of crisp orchard fruits, lemon curd, grapefruit, and ripe stone fruits. Bright natural acidity provides exceptional freshness and precision, while a pronounced mineral backbone adds structure and depth. Subtle creamy nuances and gentle oak integration enhance the wine’s complexity without overpowering its vibrant fruit character.

The finish is long, clean, and beautifully persistent, leaving lingering notes of citrus, white peach, toasted almond, floral nuances, and refreshing mineral undertones that beautifully reflect the distinctive character of Premier Cru Montagny.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with oysters, scallops, lobster, grilled white fish, roasted poultry, goat cheese, creamy mushroom dishes, and refined Burgundian cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served chilled at 10–12°C. Allow the wine to breathe for 10–15 minutes before serving to fully reveal its expressive aromas, silky texture, and elegant mineral complexity.
