White fruits, citrus and deep minerality. A taut and elegant Montagny Premier Cru from Domaine Aline Beauné.
The Montagny 1er Cru Chazelle 2023 from Domaine Aline Beauné is a single-vineyard cuvée of remarkable generosity and expressivity, perfectly capturing the richness of Montagny's premier cru terroirs. Rated 93/100 by Revue du Vin de France, this organic Chardonnay from Aline Beauné combines bright fruit, elegance and structure in a generous yet precise style that confirms this young domaine's rising place among the finest producers of Côte Chalonnaise.
The Chazelle climat
Chazelle is one of 49 officially recognised premier crus within Montagny, spread across four communes: Buxy, Montagny-lès-Buxy, Jully-lès-Buxy and Saint-Vallerin. The Montagny vineyard, nestled at the southern tip of Côte Chalonnaise, rests on clay-limestone and marl soils from the Lower Jurassic period, with a Bajocian limestone subsoil at the hilltops, over 175 million years old. The slopes face east and south-east, between 250 and 400 metres altitude, enjoying generous sunshine while preserving Chardonnay's natural freshness. This combination of limestone, marl and altitude gives Montagny's premier crus their distinctive character: precise minerality, vibrant acidity and aromatic finesse that in some ways echo the great Chardonnays of Chablis, whose Kimmeridgian subsoil surfaces near Buxy. Only Chardonnay is permitted across the entire appellation, a terroir to which this limestone soil is remarkably well suited.
Tasting profile
The robe is golden yellow with green flashes, luminous and clear. The nose is immediately exuberant and generous, with ripe white and yellow fruit aromas—peach, apricot, preserved pear—enhanced by subtle toasted and buttery notes from restrained ageing, plus delicate floral touches. On the palate, the wine reveals amplitude, roundness and generosity, with a smooth, velvety texture reflecting the fine ripeness of 2023 grapes. Acidity is present and well integrated, bringing freshness and balance to a rich, expressive whole. The finish is long, fruity and subtly toasted, with the characteristic mineral return of the appellation's finest terroirs. A wine of great appeal, ready to drink now yet capable of ageing harmoniously for four to six years in cellar.
The domaine
Aline Beauné founded her domaine in 2018 at Montagny-lès-Buxy, after 13 years managing vinification at a respected Côte de Beaune producer. When the Buxy cooperative contract for 5.5 hectares of family vineyards ended, she seized the opportunity to create her own domaine, aiming to produce wines of the highest quality from Montagny and Côte Chalonnaise terroirs. Committed to organic conversion, she has eliminated herbicides and chemical treatments, incorporating biodynamic preparations to invigorate the soils. In the cellar, Premier Crus are aged in oak with very restrained new wood use—never more than 10 percent—allowing terroir and fruit to express themselves fully, without artifice or over-extraction.
Food pairings
This Montagny 1er Cru Chazelle pairs beautifully with seared scallops with white truffle, roasted turbot with tarragon butter, Bresse chicken with cream and morels, sweetbreads in a casserole, or lobster gratin. It will also harmonise well with aged pressed-curd cheeses such as 24-month Comté or alpine Beaufort. Served between 10 and 12 °C, it will reveal the full generosity and precision of its terroir.
