Domaine Faiveley Montagny 2021

Domaine Faiveley Montagny 2021

Domaine Faiveley Montagny 2021 is a village-level white Burgundy from the Montagny appellation in Côte Chalonnaise. The wine is produced by Domaine Faiveley, one of Burgundy’s largest and most respected family-owned estates, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges and led by the 7th generation of the Faiveley family.

Vinification & Style
Made from 100% Chardonnay, this wine comes from the Côte Chalonnaise, the southernmost part of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where Montagny is exclusively planted with Chardonnay. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (10% new oak), with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring). The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was cool and classic, marked by frost and rain, but the wines show increased freshness, purity of fruit and more judicious use of oak.
