The 2021 Domaine Cottenceau Montagny Premier Cru “Les Bassets” is an elegant and precise Chardonnay that highlights the charm and vibrancy of the Montagny appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise. Domaine Cottenceau, known for its dedication to sustainable viticulture and terroir-driven winemaking, crafts wines that emphasize clarity, balance, and the unique characteristics of their vineyards. The “Les Bassets” vineyard, with its limestone-rich soils, produces wines of fine minerality and refreshing acidity.

In the glass, the wine reveals a pale gold hue with bright reflections. The nose is fresh and expressive, offering aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, interwoven with subtle floral notes of acacia and a delicate hint of toasted almonds. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creamy texture supported by vibrant acidity. Flavors of citrus and orchard fruits unfold with a mineral backbone, leading to a clean and refreshing finish with whispers of salinity and wet stone.

The 2021 vintage, marked by cooler growing conditions, imparts this wine with remarkable freshness and precision, making it an ideal pairing for dishes such as grilled seafood, seared scallops, or roasted chicken. It also complements creamy vegetable dishes and soft cheeses beautifully. While approachable now for its youthful energy and bright fruit, this Premier Cru has the potential to develop further nuance over the next 4–6 years.

Domaine Cottenceau’s Montagny Premier Cru “Les Bassets” is a wonderful representation of the finesse and balance that can be achieved in the Côte Chalonnaise, offering a delightful and accessible expression of white Burgundy.

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
