Domaine Jean-Francois Protheau 2009 "Les Carlins" Montagny Burgundy

Domaine Jean-Francois Protheau 2009 "Les Carlins" Montagny Burgundy

Mission Codename La Reine Blanche

White Burgundy is thrilling to find, wonderful to experience, and sublime to remember. This ‘09 White Burgundy from the chalky soils of Montagny is a delightful example of barrel-fermented 100% Chardonnay. Barrel fermentation and “battonage” sur lie aging began in this region, allowing a subtle richness to come forward in the wine. Elegance and refinement are hallmarks of this cool growing region and of the house of Jean-Francois Protheau, established in 1720.

Firstly, a beautiful pale, clear color is lovely to behold. The wine derives minerality from the limestone soils of the area and is quite complex with wonderful zip. This wine is best served slightly chilled, not too cold.
