2017 | Laurent Cognard | Bourgogne Le Chardonnay

This soft, creamy wine has plenty of ripe, honeyed fruit. Its gentle texture is cut with tangy orange peel and crisp acidity, although only enough to give the smooth wine a lift.

Producer Information

The Estate is centred on Buxy in Burgundy in the Montagny appellation, which is the southern gateway to the Côte Chalonnaise. History reminds us that the wines were the preference of the Monks of CLUNY and conferred “fresh breath and limpid ideas”. The Cognard family has its orgins in the Mâconnais but Laurent is a local boy who always cherished the idea of settling here and founding his own Domaine. He took a roundabout way to accumulating the requisite funds to set up. In 1997,he acquired his first vineyards and became a full time vigneron in 2006 at the head of 5,5 hectares.Today, he manages 18 hectares of vines spread over Loché, Montagny and Mercurey with 6,4 hectares in Montagny 1er Cru. He was initially headquartered in the ancient prison dating back to the middle ages in picturesque but somewhat narrow cellars. He moved the Domaine to the “Château de BUXY” in the heart of the town and built a tasting cellar and a state -of-the -art winery more in keeping with the burgeoning development of the Estate.
