FEATURES
🏰 Jean-Marc Pillot's 2016 Montagny Blanc offers a 【lip-smackingly delicious burst of fresh citrus and almond notes, showcasing the resilience of a challenging vintage】. The 2016 vintage in Burgundy was difficult, with a mild winter, cool spring, and late, uneven flowering due to storms. Despite these challenges, Jean-Marc Pillot is known for producing a stunning range of wines. This Montagny Blanc is praised for its rich, well-rounded profile with a sophisticated nose of marzipan, almond, and lemon custard, featuring a dry, mineral palate with citrus and peach undertones.
🍴 This vibrant white Burgundy is excellent with light seafood dishes like grilled prawns or pan-fried sole, fresh salads, and goat cheese. For an Asian pairing, try steamed dumplings or a delicate lemon chicken.
🥂 Ideal for a casual lunch with friends, a summer picnic, or as a versatile white wine to enjoy with a variety of lighter meals.
