2020 Montagny 1er Cru, Olivier Leflaive Frères, Côte Chalonnaise
Montagny is one of the top communes in the Côte Chalonnaise. Its many premiers crus are a source of excellent quality white Burgundies at reasonable prices. This wine is a blend of different sites, and is vinified almost exclusively in oak, with just a fraction of it new. It has this wonderful tight fruit-based minerality and a textured, almost tannic structure, with a burst of lemon pulp at its core. As ever, a smart buy.
