Millebuis offers a wide range of wines that showcase the nuances of the Côte Chalonnaise region. Among the smaller origins, three renowned vineyards are available for tasting.
MONTAGNY 1ER CRU
"VIGNE DU SOLEIL"
Covering an area of 4.7 hectares, “Vigne du Soleil” is the sunniest climate in the Montagny 1er Cru appellation. Facing due east, the vines (which we harvest late, seeking overripeness) are located at the bottom of the hillsides, on brown, slightly stony soils. They draw from a clayey, filtering soil all the power and intensity that characterize this wine with its luminous, golden color, revealing a nose of ripe yellow fruits. Sunny and heady, the palate offers aromas of peach, pineapple, mango with spicy nuances.
GIVRY 1ER CRU
"CLOS JUS"
“Clos Jus” is a vineyard run by a few winegrowers in the Givry appellation, classified as Premier Cru, with an area of approximately 8 hectares, whose revival dates back to 1990. The soil is composed of light clay and limestone. It has the particularity of being very ferruginous (the soils are dark reddish brown), which gives the wine great character. Intensity and depth characterize this wine, which reveals a complex and delicate nose of fresh grapes and black fruits. The palate offers accents of spices and vanilla with a persistent finish.
GIVRY 1ER CRU
"CLOS MARCEAUX"
MONOPOLE
“Clos Marceaux” is a Premier Cru monopoly vineyard covering 2.95 hectares within the Givry appellation; it is situated next to the church in Poncey. The vines are planted in the middle of the slopes and are fully east facing. They source the richness and generosity that is typical of our Givry 1er Cru “Clos Marceaux” from grassed over chalky-clay soils and subsoils rich in limestone.With its rich and generous style, this deeply coloured wine reveals an intense red fruit bouquet alongside mocha. It is convivial, firm and elegant in the mouth with vanilla nuances. A very pure expression of Pinot Noir.
VENDANGES
DE NOVEMBRE
The grapes for this unique vintage come from several small plots in the Côte Chalonnaise region, particularly from the "La Cassine" vineyard on the hills above Saint-Vallerin. The airy microclimate allows for a noble development of the Chardonnay and optimizes the grapes' overripeness. The vines face east and draw from the clay-limestone soil all the voluptuousness that characterizes our November Harvest. This sweet wine, with its luminous golden yellow color, reveals a complex nose of quince, white flowers, and candied fruit. The full-bodied and powerful palate offers beautiful nuances of honey and spices (saffron).
Our prized wines are AOC wines from the Burgundy vineyards. Our clay-limestone terroir allows us to cultivate high-quality grapes from a variety of grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Aligoté, and Chardonnay. After vinification and blending, these grapes become our finest wines. The Montagny Premier Cru “Vigne du Soleil” white wine, with its beautiful color, roundness, and freshness, offers surprising minerality and aromas of exotic fruits. It is perfect as an aperitif or to accompany a cheese platter. Our red wines, characterized by light tannins, an intense bouquet, a roundness on the palate, and a wide aromatic range, are ideal for pairing with meat dishes. The grape harvest in Burgundy takes place in September. The grape bunches are picked, then pressed, fermented, and aged in vats or oak barrels. At maturity, both the red and white wines reveal a wide range of aromas and characteristics, such as acidity, minerality, and floral notes, with great breadth. Thanks to Pinot Noir, Burgundy wines have silky tannins and great finesse. The Chardonnay grape variety gives the white wine a fruity or citrusy taste that can accompany seafood or certain other dishes. Cheeses. And what better way to awaken your taste buds than with the effervescence of a Crémant de Bourgogne with its fine bubbles!
