Profile

コート・シャロネーズ地区のモンタニィ・レ・ビュクシーに拠点を置くシャトー・ド・ダヴネイは、この地のテロワールを象徴する白ワインの造り手である。所有するブドウ畑は合計2か所で、そのすべてがモンタニィのプルミエ・クリュ(一級畑)に格付けされている点が大きな特徴だ。具体的には、村の名を冠した一級畑であるラ・グランド・ピエスと、ル・クロ・ショードロンの2区画を保有している。シャルドネの栽培に適した石灰質土壌から、このドメーヌは一級畑ならではの凝縮感と気品を備えたワインを世に送り出している。グラン・クリュこそ所有していないものの、厳選された2つのプルミエ・クリュに注力することで、モンタニィの個性を純粋に表現することに成功している。その実力は、ブルゴーニュの深淵を探求する愛好家からも確かな信頼を寄せられている。

History

Château de Davenay is based in Montagny-lès-Buxy, the southernmost commune of the Côte Chalonnaise. Montagny is unusual in Burgundy: it produces only white wine, planted entirely to Chardonnay, and the Premier Cru designation here applies to any parcel that reaches the required minimum alcohol — not a specific classified site.

Winemaking Approach

A small estate working two Premier Cru parcels around Montagny-lès-Buxy. Documentation on house style is limited, but the domaine operates within the standard Chardonnay framework of the appellation — parcel-bottled, with the chalky minerality characteristic of Montagny's limestone soils.
