The Howard dozen: top Montagny to try

Les Coères is Montagny’s largest premier cru and Feuillat-Juillot owns 4ha of 60-year-old vines lying at 300m. Rich and concentrated, the wine retains a lovely freshness on the palate, balancing ripe white peach fruit notes. Maturation in 500-litre barrels has added complexity and texture. A fine example of premier cru Montagny. Drink 2020-2024 Alcohol 13%
