Profile
シャトー・ド・ラ・ソールは、コート・シャロネーズ地区のモンタニ・レ・ビュクシーに本拠を置く造り手である。所有するブドウ畑は合計2ヶ所で、そのすべてがプルミエ・クリュ（一級畑）に格付けされているのが大きな特徴だ。具体的には、拠点と同じモンタニ・レ・ビュクシー村に位置する「ル・クル」と「ヴィーニュ・シュール・ル・クル」の2つの銘醸地を擁している。特級畑は所有していないものの、モンタニのテロワールを象徴する一級畑に特化したドメーヌ経営を行っている。この地に根ざした伝統的なブドウ栽培を通じて、村の個性を実直に表現したワイン造りに取り組んでいる。少数精鋭の畑から生み出されるそのワインは、モンタニのプルミエ・クリュが持つ魅力を余すことなく伝えてくれる存在といえる。
