"Classy, chic, unmissable!"
Premier Cru "Les Vignes Derrière" is located in the commune of Montagny-lès-Buxy. The estate's flagship cuvée boasts a fresh, chalky mineral profile in a very pure, long and racy style. The saline finish prolongs the pleasure. We love the elegance and balance of this cuvée.

Domaine Stéphane Aladame
Montagny
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Stéphane Aladame founded his domaine in 1992 at the age of 18, and now runs 8 hectares of Montagny with Julie, seven of which are Premier Cru. For the past ten years, the vines have been cultivated organically, with grassing and ploughing. A lover of freshness and finesse, Stéphane uses very few barrels to allow the terroir to express itself. The wines thus offer character, but acquire their precision with a little time in bottle. An essential Montagny domaine, highly prized by wine merchants and restaurateurs.

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
As I wrote last year, Stéphane Aladame, who launched his eponymous domaine 25 years ago at the age of 18, is one of Montagny's leading figures. He describes his methods in the vineyards as "three-quarters organic", meaning that he works the soil and avoids herbicides, as well as using organic phytosanitary products, although he will use two or three synthetic treatments a year if necessary. In the cellar, he doesn't go to extremes, employing a majority of large 350-liter barrels and keeping barrels in rotation for 10 years, so that the aromas and flavors of new oak don't have a major influence here.

Rated wine (guide 2024) 91/100 (Vintage 2021)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Stéphane Aladame founded his domaine in 1992, at the age of eighteen. Since then, this perfectionist has made steady progress, assisted by his wife Julie. On the bangs of the domaine, a small négociant business was set up in 2002, producing white Burgundy and a little Montagny. His white montagnys are models of finesse and freshness: wines with little oak, great consistency, good ageing potential and reasonable prices. The domaine has made a name for itself on France's finest gourmet tables, exporting only half its production.
