The 2017 Stéphane Aladame Montagny Les Coeres 1er Cru is a white Burgundy from the Côte Chalonnaise, crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Stéphane Aladame, who established his domaine in 1992, is known for his focus on Montagny Premier Cru wines and a commitment to sustainable farming, progressively moving towards organic practices. The Montagny appellation itself is unique for producing only white wines, predominantly Chardonnay, and is characterized by its calcareous soils, often resulting in a more mineral profile compared to other Burgundy regions. 【Complex, rich and powerful with stunning mineral tones】 This 2017 vintage is described as having a complex bouquet with notes of exotic fruits, supported by an ample body. On the palate, it is full-bodied, well-structured, mineral, fresh, elegant, and balanced. Tasting notes from the community often highlight pear, green apple, citrus (lemon), vanilla, and some oak, with mentions of a good amount of acidity and a medium-length finish. Some also detect tropical notes like pineapple, honey, and jasmine. This elegant white Burgundy is versatile for various occasions. It's an excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal, or simply to enjoy with friends. Its balanced acidity and rich profile make it suitable for pairing with a range of dishes. 🍴 Food Pairing: This Montagny 1er Cru pairs beautifully with rich fish like salmon or tuna, shellfish, pasta, and mild and soft cheeses. Specific suggestions include wild turbot cooked in truffle butter, parsley-crusted ham, pike quenelles with Nantua sauce, langoustines, Bresse chicken with morel mushrooms, and various seafood dishes in sauce. 🥂 Event Suggestions: Ideal for a refined dinner party, a special anniversary celebration, or a sophisticated gathering where a high-quality white Burgundy is appreciated. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a wine enthusiast.
