The Elegance and Minerality of a Premier Cru from the Côte Chalonnaise

The Estate

Although the winemaking heritage of this land dates back to the Cistercian monks of the 12th century, Domaine du Cellier aux Moines was truly established in 2004. Located in Givry, in Burgundy, the estate is now run by Philippe and Catherine Pascal. The vineyard, spanning around 10.5 hectares, is cultivated according to the artisanal philosophy of "simplex natura". A pioneer of the Côte Chalonnaise, the estate stands out for its strong environmental commitment, holding organic and biodynamic certifications, and constantly striving to express the purity of its terroirs.

The Vineyard

This cuvée comes from a 0.7-hectare plot located within the Montagny appellation. Planted in 2012, these vines benefit from a full southern exposure and thrive on the mid to upper slopes, at an altitude ranging from 270 to 310 metres. The terroir consists of clay-limestone soils rich in oolitic stones, ensuring excellent drainage and optimal thermal regulation. The entire vineyard is rigorously farmed according to biodynamic principles.

Winemaking and Ageing

The Montagny 1er Cru "Les Combes" 2024 is crafted using modern gravity-flow facilities, preserving the integrity of the grapes. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels. The wine is then aged on fine lees for around twelve months, a method that gives it its silky texture and aromatic complexity.
