Jean-Marc Boillot Montagny 1er Cru 2020

Jean-Marc Boillot Montagny 1er Cru 2020 is a classic expression of Chardonnay from the Montagny appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy. Renowned winemaker Jean-Marc Boillot crafts this wine with an emphasis on precision, balance, and a deep respect for the terroir. The 2020 vintage is a remarkable example of Montagny’s potential for producing wines that are both elegant and expressive.

The wine presents a pale golden hue and opens with an aromatic bouquet of ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot, complemented by floral notes and a hint of citrus zest. On the palate, Montagny 1er Cru 2020 is medium-bodied with a vibrant acidity that lifts the rich fruit flavors. The wine is round and smooth, showcasing a delicate minerality and subtle notes of buttered toast, a result of the judicious use of oak. Its balance between freshness and richness, along with a long, clean finish, makes it a standout from this lesser-known but highly regarded Burgundy appellation.

Jean-Marc Boillot’s expertise shines through in this Premier Cru, where his commitment to low-intervention winemaking and attention to detail in both the vineyard and cellar results in a wine of exceptional quality and finesse.
