In the heart of Burgundy, where every vineyard plot whispers an age-old story, Maison Auguste Thevenaut embodies the living legacy of an deeply rooted winemaking tradition. Established in 1947, their story is one of transmission, of expertise that has spanned decades, now reaching the third generation at the helm. They’re not just producers but guardians of the land and creators of emotion, committed to revealing the richness and diversity of this iconic region.

The Montagny 1er Cru is sourced from southeast-facing vineyards planted on gravelly limestone soils. This well-drained terrain, combined with the gentle morning sun, promotes slow, even ripening of the Chardonnay grapes. After hand-harvesting, the fruit is fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness, then aged with a touch of oak for added complexity. The resulting wine is floral and bright, with notes of honeysuckle and acacia on the nose. The palate is rich and textured, finishing with a subtle, spicy lift.

This elegant Premier Cru pairs beautifully with delicate dishes such as halibut or classic French fare like Blanquette de Veau.
