LA CADETTE BOURGOGNE ROUGE
Valentin Montaney is based in western Bourgogne’s Vézelay, where he is caretaker of his parents’ 22ha of organically farmed vineyards. In 2016, Valentin began a négociant business, creating the La Soeur Cadette range. This Bourgogne Rouge comes from 60 year old vines in Volnay, Mercurey, and Vézelay. Each was native fermented, whole cluster, in stainless, before rested 8 months in older 225L barrels prior to blending.
