The 2022 Feuillat-Juillot Montagny Les Crêts is a superb single-vineyard Chardonnay from one of the Côte Chalonnaise’s most respected producers. Sourced from the limestone-rich slopes of the Les Crêts vineyard in Montagny, the wine reflects the precision and terroir focus for which Domaine Feuillat-Juillot is renowned. Careful vineyard management and restrained oak maturation allow the purity of the fruit and the mineral character of the site to shine through, producing a wine of elegance, depth and remarkable balance.
The nose reveals white peach, lemon zest and pear alongside notes of white flowers, crushed chalk and subtle toasted almond. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, combining ripe orchard fruit with bright acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Hints of citrus peel, hazelnut and gentle oak spice add complexity, while the finish is long, precise and beautifully refreshing. The excellent 2022 vintage brings both concentration and freshness, highlighting the quality of this outstanding vineyard.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A beautifully refined white Burgundy that offers exceptional value and character. Fresh, mineral and elegantly structured, it pairs wonderfully with scallops, grilled fish, roast chicken, lobster and creamy seafood dishes. Enjoy now and over the next 6–10 years as it develops additional texture, complexity and classic Burgundian nuance.
