Montagny

1er Cru Bonneveaux

Val and Vaux are words from ancient French which have retained the literal meaning of the Latin word Vallis "valley" from which they come. They also retained the feminine gender often used for place names.

From tears of rain to tears of wine, a year as trying as it is moving! 2024 will be remembered… Marked by record rainfall and omnipresent humidity, it put winegrowers to the test. Despite vigilance and hard work in the vines, mildew took over, strongly impacting yields. Significant disparities appeared between terroirs: more draining soils were better able to resist disease pressure. Fortunately, after harvest, the quality of the wines came as a nice surprise. Freshness and radiance are there, offering a precious reward after a season of challenges.
