La Soeur Cadette Bourgogne Blanc 2025
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. The Bourgogne Blanc comes from 25 year old vines in limestone laced northern Mâconnais, and includes a splash (2%) of field blend Chardonnay Musqué. After a native ferment, this spent 7 months in stainless prior to bottling. Pouring a shining lemon hue, this leads with bright lemon curd, green and yellow apple, and white blossoms, with a creamy, medium-bodied core subtly seasoned with stony spice. A friendly BB that would be beauty with summer corn dishes.Tasted: 11 August 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $39.00 | 750ml | consignment |
