La Soeur Cadette Bourgogne Blanc 2017
Mâconnais, Burgundy, FranceValentin Montenay is based in western Bourgogne’s Vézelay, where he is caretaker of his parents’ 22ha of organically farmed vineyards. In 2016, Valentin began a négociant business, creating the La Soeur Cadette range. All the wines are native ferment, with full MLF, no chaptalization, fermentation in stainless, light filtration at bottling, and minimal sulphur throughout. In the winery, he works with the lunar calendar. This Bourgogne Blanc comes from 25 year old vines in limestone laced northern Maconnais, and includes a splash (2%) of the rarely seen Chardonnay Musqué. Red apple, ripe pear, gooseberry, orchard blossoms, lemon peel glide along the juicy, round palate, finishing with a buzzy bracket of stony spice.
