Marsannay La Montagne Olivier Guyot (Domaine de) 2017

The wine

A 100% Chardonnay produced in one of the rare Burgundy appellations which produces wine in all three colours (red, rosé, white), this Marsannay is a true reflection of the "La Montagne" terroir from whence it comes. Limestone soil gives this wine from Olivier Guyot a mineral character that blends with the aromas so typical of the white wines of the Côte de Nuits. Specifically: notes of white flowers, dried fruit, and – after a few years' cellaring – honey. Its ample, generous palate lingers for some time, making it a good accompaniment for a wide range of delicate dishes such as poultry, veal, pork, Japanese cuisine and risotto, each matching the Chardonnay refinement and vivacity very well.

About the Producer Olivier Guyot

The Guyot are one of the oldest families in Marsannay-la-Côte. Louis Guyot established the domaine at the beginning of the last century. Generations have succeeded one another and since 1990 Olivier Guyot has managed this 15-hectare vineyard which is divided between Marsannay-la-Côte and Gevrey-Chambertin. The vines are cultivated in a responsible, sustainable way and ploughing is done on horseback.
