Domaine du Cellier aux Moines : Montagny 1er cru "Les Charmelottes" 2020

The structure and aromatic finesse of a white Burgundy by Domaine du Cellier aux Moines

The estate

The Domaine du Cellier aux Moines was founded in 1130 by the Cistercian monks of La Ferté Abbey. These monks were the first to build the famous clos of Burgundy. Since 2004, the Pascal family has successfully restored the estate and brought it back to full vitality, completing its conversion to biodynamics.

The vineyard

Montagny 1er Cru "Les Charmelottes" 2020 by Domaine du Cellier Aux Moines comes from a 0.82-hectare vineyard.

The vintage

A dry winter was followed by a warm spring with low rainfall, encouraging early budburst and flowering by mid-May. The summer was marked by intense drought, with a water deficit of 200 mm during fruit set and veraison. The vigilance and rigour of the teams made it possible to manage the vineyard in the best possible way despite these extreme conditions, which led to lower yields. The harvest was of very high quality, with concentrated, perfectly ripe and beautifully balanced grapes.

2020 celebrates the organic certification of Domaine du Cellier aux Moines as well as its fourth biodynamic vintage.

Blend

Montagny 1er Cru "Les Charmelottes" 2020 by Domaine du Cellier Aux Moines is made from 100% Chardonnay.
