The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Anchored for four centuries in Montagny, Domaine Berthenet is a family-owned estate with 20 hectares dedicated to the Montagny appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise and a few plots in Givry.

Today, managed by the son, François, the vineyard produces reliable and serious wines, including a fine range of Montagny village and Premier Cru wines. These wines are straightforward and expressive, earning recognition as winners of the Young Talents of Burgundy trophy and inclusion in the RVF Guide this year!
Wine Editor's Choice rated 92/100, the 2022 White Montagny Tête de Cuvée is a sure bet from the appellation. A Chardonnay that opens with a very pure, fresh nose, featuring a beautiful chalky mineral touch and restrained aging.

A great discovery at a fantastic price!
