Bright golden hue with green highlights. The nose opens with fresh citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes, underscored by subtle mineral and chalky undertones characteristic of Montagny's limestone terroir. On the palate, this Chardonnay is crisp and focused, offering lemon curd, ripe pear, and a hint of toasted almond. The finish is clean, precise, and pleasantly lingering with refreshing acidity and fine mineral tension.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Montagny sits in the Côte Chalonnaise, the southern reach of Burgundy where Chardonnay takes on a leaner, more mineral cast than further north. Domaine Berthenet's Tête de Cuvée is their top selection from this appellation, built for precision and cellar-worthy structure rather than showy richness.
Expect a taut, chalky white with citrus and orchard-fruit tones and a saline finish. Serve well chilled alongside shellfish, oily fish or a Camembert board, it has the acidity to cut through cream sauces and the weight to stand up to charcuterie.
