Domaine Stéphane Aladame Montagny 1er Cru Les Maroques 2023
£34.75
The wine
Bright yellow, revealing pure and refined fresh white peach with delicate floral notes.
Les Maroques is a premier cru at Montagny. Montagny is the southernmost village of the Côte Chalonnaise and makes white wine only. It sits on the same limestone as the Côte d Or to the north, and its premiers crus rival wines from the more famous slope at a fraction of the price. Domaine Stéphane Aladame is at Montagny in the Côte Chalonnaise, where he took over a tiny estate at eighteen and built it into the reference for the appellation.

View all Domaine Stéphane Aladame winesIn Montagny, in the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Stéphane Aladame is a reference for this often-overlooked appellation. Aladame founded the estate as a teenager and has spent decades championing Montagny pure, mineral Chardonnay. Few know these slopes better.
Farming sustainably across a patchwork of premier cru parcels, Aladame works with precision and restraint. Careful vinification and judicious use of oak give wines of both freshness and depth. The style is elegant and true to place.
The range spans crisp premier cru Montagny and a fine sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne. Each shows the quiet class of the Côte Chalonnaise at genuinely fair value.
To pour an Aladame wine is to discover Burgundy best-kept secret. Mineral, refined, and beautifully made, these are whites for those who love white Burgundy without the grand-cru price.
