Chateau de La Saule Wine
The Chateau de la Saule, the largest
and
most prestigious domaine in the
appellation of Montagny, has been in
the
Roy family since 1805. Situated at the
foot of the hillsides of, and at the entry
to, the village of Montagny-en- Buxy,
this
estate produces classic wines of this
appellation. Alain Roy, the current
proprietor, has been responsible for
the
entire domaine since 1972. We have
had
the privilege of representing the wines
of
this estate since the 1980 vintage.
The
Chateau de la Saule has 17 hectares of
vineyards, 13 of which are planted to
Chardonnay. The vineyards face full
south and the majority are located
within
the premier cru sites of Burnins, Les
Vignes Sur Le Clou, and Les Monts
Cuchots. The soil composition is argilo-
calcaire with a strong silex
composition.
Each of the above sites is situated on
prime hillside slopes. Alain Roy is
currently participating in a research
project the objective of which is to
determine the most efficient and
productive methods to reduce
treatments
in the vineyards to an absolute
minimum.
Harvest is done manually. The grapes
are
crushed in a pneumatic press; the juice
is
chilled and then racked off the heavy
lees
shortly after crushing; fermentation of
most of the Chardonnay proceeds in
stainless steel cuves under controlled
conditions at low temperatures. These
wines remain on the lees in stainless
steel. On occasion a portion of the
vintage may be racked into barrel to
complete the malolactic fermentation |
