Fresh, Vibrant, and Approachable White Burgundy

Named after winemaker Stéphane Aladame’s grandmothers, the "Léonie et Solange" cuvée is a well-made, refreshing introduction to regional white Burgundy. Sourced from estate plots around Montagny, this bottling skips heavy oak treatment to prioritize bright, clean fruit. The 2022 vintage offers a pleasant balance of juicy orchard fruits like yellow apple and white peach, rounded out by a crisp citrus finish and a subtle touch of chalky texture. It is a light-to-medium-bodied Chardonnay that delivers reliable quality and straightforward regional character for everyday drinking.

Vineyard & Cuvée Background

  • Independent Côte Chalonnaise Farming: Stéphane Aladame has spent over three decades establishing his reputation as a thoughtful independent producer in Montagny. While best known for his premier cru bottlings, he treats his regional Bourgogne Blanc with the same strict mechanical standards, focusing on natural fruit purity and bright profiles.
  • The Léonie et Solange Blend: This regional label is sourced from estate vineyards grown on typical clay-limestone parcels located within the Montagny commune. By keeping new oak entirely out of the aging process, Aladame allows the 2022 vintage to display its clean orchard fruit characters alongside an easy-drinking, lively structure.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay hand-harvested from estate-managed plots within the Montagny region.
  • A dedicated family cuvée named in tribute to the winemaker’s grandmothers, Léonie and Solange.
  • Vinified primarily in temperature-regulated stainless steel vats and neutral wood to emphasize freshness over barrel flavors.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright, clear pale straw with silvery hints.
  • Nose: Fresh and clean, showing simple fruit aromas of green apple, fresh pear, and lemon zest, with a light backdrop of white acacia blossoms.
  • Palate: Bone-dry and light-to-medium-bodied. Approachable flavors of crisp yellow apples and citrus pith move across the palate, supported by a healthy line of snappy acidity. The finish is straightforward, clean, and refreshing.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve nicely chilled at 9–11°C. Perfect for warm weather or as an everyday house white wine.
  • Decanting: Not required. This wine is built for immediate consumption upon opening. It is best enjoyed fresh over the next 2–3 years.
  • Western Pairing: Simple poultry dishes, green salads with vinaigrettes, light seafood pasta, or young soft cheeses.
  • Asian Pairing: Poached White Cut Chicken (白切雞), simple vegetable stir-fries, or steamed shrimp dumplings (Har Gow).
