Description
Fractured limestone and fine clay on mid elevation slopes define the source for the 2022 Jean-Marc Boillot Montagny 1er Cru Blanc, drawn from Chardonnay parcels in the southern Côte Chalonnaise where drainage is strong and ripening remains even in warm years. Mixed east and southeast exposures capture morning light and steady valley airflow, influences that helped moderate the pace of maturation in 2022. The domaine’s sustainable regimen focuses on balanced canopies, modest yields, and selective hand harvesting aligned with differences in soil depth and vine age. Fermentation takes place with native or neutral yeasts in French oak barrels, and élevage continues in a mix of new and seasoned wood calibrated to encourage integration while retaining structural precision. Holding a central role in Boillot’s white wine range, the cuvée offers a technically grounded reading of Montagny’s limestone slopes shaped by focused site selection and measured cellar practice.
