Tasting by Véronique Boss-Drouhin : Montagny is a very interesting wine, not just a simple « terroir wine ». Its colour is pale. On the nose, aromas of golden apple, almond and fern, with a faint lemony note. There is a clear-cut and lively impression when first tasting the wine, followed by a feeling of roundness. Long aftertaste, with appetizing flavours of « compote » (stewed fruit).
