Located in the renowned wine region of the Côte Chalonnaise in France, Domaine Stéphane Aladame is a producer that has been making waves among Burgundy lovers. As the region's top growers finally receive the recognition they deserve, Stéphane Aladame's wines stand out as a true gem. With a reputation that has earned him the loyalty of France's top restaurant buyers, Stéphane has had to close his books to new markets and retail clients. This is a testament to the quality and demand for his wines.
Specializing in the production of Montagny, Stéphane's wines have been compared to the famed Chablis due to their lively and fresh character. This can be attributed to the high limestone content and shallow soils of Montagny, giving the vines access to fossil-rich rock. Stéphane's preference for neutral barrels and minimal intervention in the winemaking process results in subtle and elegant wines that showcase the true essence of the Chalonnaise terroir.
Furthermore, Stéphane's wines offer excellent value for the quality they possess. Despite the complicated relationship between Burgundy and value, Stéphane's pricing remains refreshing and accessible. However, due to the limited quantity of his wines and high demand from domestic clients, securing an allocation can be a challenge. But for those lucky enough to taste Domaine Stéphane Aladame's wines, it is a truly unforgettable experience. So, keep an eye out for the upcoming 2022 vintage and don't miss the opportunity to savor these top-class Chalonnaise wines.
