Montanet-Thoden Galerne 2020
Burgundy, FranceValentin Montaney is based in western Bourgogne's Vézelay, where he is the caretaker of his parents' 22ha of organically farmed vineyards. In 2016, Valentin began a négociant business, creating the La Soeur Cadette range. This comes from his mother's organically farmed vineyards, with a higher proportion of clay in the limestone-laden soils. Creamy white flowers, crystalline lemon, and ripe pear fill a medium-bodied frame, lit with a buzzy salinity through a lingering finish. Lovely palate weight here.Tasted: 15 November 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $41.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
