Chiseled, Noble, and Crowned in Old-Vine Majesty

Crafted by Stéphane Aladame—the undisputed pioneer who single-handedly elevated Montagny to world-class status—"Les Coères" is the largest and arguably most famous Premier Cru vineyard in the appellation. Sourced from majestic old vines, this wine completely transcends the simpler templates of regional Burgundy. Born in the cool, ultra-classic 2021 vintage, it delivers a masterclass in high-tension elegance, uncoiling with an intellectual bouquet of crisp green apples, Bosc pears, lemongrass, and white flowers, layered over a deep undertone of wet stones and almond cream. It is a medium-bodied white wine that slices across the palate with a chiseled line of limestone acidity and a long, saline-tinged finish.

Expert Tasting Notes & Estate Reputation

  • 91 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound.com: "There is a whiff of the exotic suffusing the cool and layered aromas of orange peel, essence of apple and pretty floral and spice wisps. There is good if not special density to the nicely vibrant medium weight flavors that possess evident power on the attractively dry, youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. While this should also be approachable young, 2 to 3 years of cellaring should help to add depth."
  • The Master of Montagny: Stéphane Aladame launched his domain from scratch in 1992 at just 22 years old. In an appellation historically dominated by large cooperatives, his hands-on approach and obsessive dedication to single-vineyard Premier Cru terroirs single-handedly put Montagny on the map for fine wine collectors. Today, he is widely recognized as the star producer of the region, crafting chiseled whites that routinely challenge the depth and prestige of famous labels from the Côte de Beaune.
  • The Prestige of Les Coères: "Les Coères" is widely regarded as the crown jewel vineyard of Montagny, renowned for its old vines and high concentration of marl and limestone. The cool, classic 2021 vintage brought out the absolute best in this terroir. Critics heavily praise this bottling for its extraordinary structural line, noting that it combines the classic weight and depth expected from old vines with an electric, laser-focused acidity that gives it magnificent aging potential.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay hand-harvested from prized old-vine parcels within the famous Montagny 1er Cru "Les Coères" vineyard.
  • Vines are rooted in a premium, mineral-dense clay-limestone matrix that yields an unmatched combination of texturing mid-palate weight and precise mineral drive.
  • Aged carefully for 10–12 months in neutral French oak barrels, undergoing meticulous fine-lees stirring to construct a sophisticated texture without introducing masking oak flavors.

Tasting Notes

    • Appearance: Bright pale straw-gold with clear, white-diamond reflections.
    • Nose: Lifted, aristocratic, and remarkably fresh, greeting the glass with intense aromas of green apple, crunchy white peach, and lemongrass, complexed beautifully by orange blossom, fresh hazelnut, and an unmistakable line of wet stone minerality.
    • Palate: Bone-dry, medium-bodied, and highly vertical. A pure, dense wave of citrus pith and crisp orchard fruits dominates the entry, instantly elevated by a striking, laser-like vein of native limestone acidity. The mouthfeel shows wonderful concentration and poise, ending long, mouthwatering, and deeply saline.

Serving Suggestion

    • Temperature: Serve slightly cellar-cool at 10–12°C. Avoid serving ice-cold, which mutes its complex old-vine aromatics and compresses its chiseled mineral texture.
    • Decanting: A brief 10-to-15 minute breathe in a wide glass or decanter allows the tight 2021 mineral structure to open up and integrate beautifully. Showing spectacular harmony today, with the structural focus to cellar comfortably through 2031–2036.
    • Western Pairing: Pan-seared sole meunière, fresh goat cheese tarts, roasted poultry with white wine reductions, or raw oysters.
    • Asian Pairing: 水晶蝦餃皇 (Premium Steamed Prawn Dumplings / Har Gow), 蒜蓉粉絲蒸大扇貝 (Steamed Scallops with Garlic and Glass Noodles), or 清蒸石斑魚 (Steamed Garoupa with Soy Sauce).
