La Soeur Cadette Bourgogne Blanc 2020
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 30-50 year old vines in limestone laced northern Maçonnais. After a native ferment, this spent 7 months in stainless prior to bottling. Bright and fresh, this is light on its feet, with lemon pith and peel, green apple, apple blossom, and river stones through the snappy, pithy finish.
