Montagny Premier Cru – Les Burnins

Monastic

Tasting note :

Taking its name from the Benedictine monks of Cluny who, dressed in their monks habit (robe de bure) worked this parcel of vines. They had recognised it as one of the very best of the appellation.
Generous and complex, it is a great terroir.
