Montagny Premier Cru Les Resses
This white burgundy is from the appellation of Montagny Premier Cru, and is made and labelled exclusively for 3D Wines' Partners. The vineyard, called Les Resses, was planted over 40 years ago, is just over two acres in size and is situated on a southeast-facing slope opposite the hamlet of Jully-lès-Buxy. On a clear day you can see Mont Blanc from here (200 miles away as the crow flies), but if you can, it's supposed to mean that it will rain the next day!
The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes and is unoaked. It is a greeny-gold in colour and has an alluring nose of new-mown hay, hazelnuts and almonds with a dry, green-fruit taste allied to a hint of almond. It is the soil here - a mixture of clay and limestone - that adds depth and finesse to its good fruit characteristics. The light, refreshing citrussy palate makes it a delicious aperitif but fish, prawns, veal, chicken, crudités, vol-au-vents, light pâtés and goat's cheese are only some of the wide range of foods that may be enjoyed with this elegant, well-structured wine.
