Laurent Cognard 2023 Montagny 1er Cru

This is a 2023 white wine from Montagny in Côte Chalonnaise, made entirely from Chardonnay by Laurent Cognard. The grapes are hand-picked from Premier Cru vineyards and the wine is vinified partly in oak and steel tanks, with a focus on structure and complexity. Limestone and clay soils give tension, depth and freshness. Aromas include citrus, white flowers, toasted almonds and discreet vanilla. The palate is complex and fresh, with fine minerality and elegant fruit, while the mouthfeel is full, with lively acidity and a refined, persistent finish.
