La Cadette Vézelay Cuvée La Châtelaine AB 2023

"Valentin Montanet is making beautiful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from his limestone terroir in Vézelay, a less-traveled but beautiful hilltop village southwest of Chablis and on the same latitude as Sancerre. It is refreshing to encounter a young vigneron with such a clear-headed idea of what he wants to accomplish and how to do so. His simple-to-utter-and-not-so-simple-to-achieve goal? Make delicious, affordable, thirst-quenching wines every year."
