Berthenet, Montagny 1e Cru Vieilles Vignes 2022 White

Berthenet’s Montagny 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes 2022 is a refined white Burgundy made from 100% Chardonnay. Combining the freshness typical of Montagny with a generous, rounded structure, it is a versatile wine distinguished by its old-vine character, limestone-rich terroir and elegant balance.

Tasting Notes
Bright and clear in the glass, the wine offers a fresh, expressive nose of lime and subtle toast. On the palate, it is powerful yet rounded, with lively acidity supporting a balanced texture and a long, persistent finish. The combination of citrus freshness and gentle toasty notes makes it both immediately appealing and suitably complex. Enjoyable now for its freshness and harmony, this 2022 should develop additional texture and integrated complexity over the next few years when carefully stored.

Production
The vineyards are situated on elevated ridges between 200 and 400 metres above sea level, with slopes generally facing from northeast to south. The soils are rich in limestone, containing small fossil shells as well as clay-bearing silt, while the predominantly continental climate brings cold winters and warm summers. The wine is produced from old-vine Chardonnay; specific harvesting and vinification details have not been provided.

Food & Serving
A natural match for refined fish dishes, lobster and langoustines, it also pairs beautifully with delicate preparations of sweetbread. Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C to allow both the citrus freshness and rounded texture to show. Decanting is not essential, although a short period of aeration in the glass can help reveal its toast and mineral nuances.
