The 2021 Montagny 1er Cru Les Bassets is beautiful, bursting with aromas of pear, sweet citrus fruit and frangipane, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's bright, precise and seamless, concluding with a long, saline finish. I really hadn't expected Cottenceau to attain such heights in 2021, simply because it was such a challenging year, but I should have had more confidence in his serious viticulture and artisanal winemaking. Drinking range: 2023 - 2035 Rating: 93 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Oct 2023)

DELIVERY SERVICE
We offer free nationwide delivery on all orders over £150 (excluding Highlands & Islands). Express Delivery options also available.Domaine Maxime Cottenceau
A brand new Domaine, as young Maxime Cottenceau sets out on his solo career, having worked extensively with Vincent Dureuil.
The family have always been members of the Buxy co-op, but Maxime has seen what can be done and is clearly ambitious - even his first set of wines in 2018 were impressive, but with the 2019s he has really hit his stride. Volumes are tiny for now, but this is a domaine that will grow rapidly with more vines coming on stream each year, It has a very strong future.
Maxime has learned from Vincent, making wines with 'noble reduction' and these are intended to be long-term wines - if drinking young, he recommends opening a little ahead of time, or even a quick decant.
