Montagny 1er Cru Les Charmelottes Vieilles Vignes 1939

Small (4000 square meters) but fine, said Philipp Pascal and secured this ancient plantation - the vines were planted in 1939 - on limestone with a wonderful south-south-west orientation early in 2020. The opportunity to acquire such an old, even ancient vineyard in a prime location probably only comes along once in a lifetime. Here grows a wine that will compete with the greats of Burgundy and shake up the leaderboard. Restrained at the beginning, opening up with a little air, the wine smells heavenly of vineyard peaches; spicy components also mingle discreetly with the wonderful fruit aromas. Dense, straightforward, elegant, charming, lively, juicy, mineral and wonderfully harmonious with a finely salty, endless finish. This is GREAT cinema. Let's hope you can get hold of a few bottles for yourself.
