Located at the southern end of the Côte Chalonnaise, the Montagny AOC only produces Chardonnay. Blending of different cuvées vinified separately from Bonneveaux, Perrières and Coères.
Full and round on the palate with notes of minerality, spices and hazelnut. It is fresh and pleasing in the first two to three years with seven years aging potential. A classic Montagny nose of freshness and slight sherbet. A little roundness but fresh and really delicious too with a great, widening, finish – that’s a great wine for the label.
William Kelley of Wine Advocate writes: "While the scale of this important négociant house sometimes wins it short shrift from Burgundy collectors, the truth of the matter is found in the glass. The whole range this year is very solid indeed, and with Leflaive's "Récolte du Domaine" range, Grux has evidently pulled out all the stops to produce wines that can confound the prejudices of even the most skeptical. Many of these bottlings are derived from Olivier Leflaive's share of the Domaine Leflaive vineyards, which only recently reverted to him, and these cuvées in particular are worth every effort to seek out."
