Alain Roy

Alain Roy produces Chardonnay from Montagny, a limestone-rich appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise. This southern reach of Burgundy yields white wines of mineral precision and restraint—leaner and more austere than their Côte d'Or counterparts, with the acidity and structure to age. The Montagny 1er Cru, sourced from the appellation's classified vineyard sites, reflects the region's chalky soils and cool continental climate. Wine Spectator has rated the wine at 86.3 points. Montagny remains one of Burgundy's undervalued expressions of Chardonnay, offering the complexity and food-pairing versatility the region is known for without the premium pricing of more celebrated communes.
