The appellation of Montagny is located in the region of Burgundy called the Côte Chalonnaise (literally “hillside of Chalon”, a local large town.The Berthenet property is located in Montagny les Buxy, a typical burgundian village surrounded by its amphitheatre of vines. In fact the Berthenet family has been cultivating vines for almost 400 years. In 2001, Jean-Pierre decided to cease selling his grapes to the cooperative and now makes and sells his own wine and is a member of the “family” of Independent Winemakers of France. All the grapes are pressed using a pneumatic press and the wines vinified in a modern facility with temperature regulated stainless steel vats, all to assure the quality and freshness of his wines. Jean-Pierre has a bit less than 4.5 acres of Pinot noir under cultivation and produces a red wine under the regional appellation “Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise”. This is a medium body pinot noir with fresh and characteristic pinot noir fruit. A slight chill will enhance the flavor profile of the wine. A lovely accompaniment to richer flavored fish such as salmon, grouper, shark or swordfish, or other grilled fish. |
